THEN AND NOW.
" Scanner entflieht Blnme vcrbluht LieV Itennt nicht Winter noch Klage." SCHEKKER. I knew Ihee not I leved thee not, And, in my lonely friendless lot, I thought th*£ sunny days were few, The sky above more dark than blue: And things that others prized the moat I thought were never worth their cost — For fleeting joys which once I sought. With years of deep remorse were bought, And. as the Roman said in song I thought that life was far too long. I love thee - ne'er before I knew The sky to look 30 clear and blue ; It seemoth. too-~I know not how— That sunsets are more lovely now. And birds on many a coloured wing I never knew so sweet to sing; All things are beautiful and fair. My soul haa now no other care Bave that which springs from the belie That this our life is far too brief. O. E. Hugo.
