THE DEAR FRIEND AT KENMORF.
Oft, while in the evening sitting, Gazing at the 1 firelight flitting
To and fro upon the wall, Shadowy forms about her hover, And with joy her soul they cover, For old memories they recall. Forms long gone rise up , before her, Throwing recollections o'er her Of the happy days of yore, Which to her se s ni like some vision Conjured up by bold magician, As in ancient fairy lore. Shapes and shadows pass and glide Like the waves of the ocean's tide, In the blase of the flickering flame, Tracing fair pictures in her mind Of friends long dead, once true and kind, ,And they murmur in sorrow their names. They pass — another form is near, — 'Tis he in life so very dear, Now in heaven above: The' husband, father, friend, and guide, In sweet communion by her side, Seems uttering words of love. The fire dies out, The shadows have flown ; She sorrows to think That the past has gone. Cavoi - 3ham, July, 1900. Bronchitis and stubborn Coughs yield quickly to the effects of TUSSIOURA. Try it.
