LONG AGO.
Sing to me songs with simple theme, The songs of long ago , With music like the rippling streamToo soft to waken heaits adream In peace beneath the mellow gleam Shed by the moon's soft glow. Woids aie but waste' Just softly hill As you did long ago, When my lieait woke m answeung tin ill — ■ Ah' but its choids were wild and shrill, Till softened 'nealb thy heait'-. sweet will — In lone days long ago. When birds still sine in mniii.ei sky, A= >ou sane; lon^ ago. Thcii music telld me \mi ,iif> nic>li. And as tlie night wind-, wander by 2Jy lone hear' we'ls with tOtiow's Mgh, Foi thee ami long ago. | Xcji )ori to wait' Life's setiiuq c un Xcnij where suc'i sunsuti Slow.
