CHILDHOOD,

Dear childhood banutifil ohildhood!

Swost em of delight,

Coy vubler through the wildwood

With green leaves glancing bright; Fair strayer on the pebbled shora When rolls the sunlight roa,

Glo day dreams I can share no moro

Bid childhood's glamouric.

Then the teair-roso was may neoptre,'

My theone the lemony fill,

And I quaffed the flashing nectar From the violet-bordered rill; "The song-biede ware my trumputers

That sang on dry trek, Arid ny udes ware the daisice! That dappled the grèm loai »y My banners were the golden-beame

That herald forth the dawn;

My jewele work the dow that gleams

Like pearls on the lawn.

My altar was the martyr's stone

Far from the beaten rond Where oft I'vu posti'd' unheard alone

An artless prayer to cli

I knew not of the proud nid great

That throng'd the mideight ball,

-Nor of the crafty plots of State

That keep mankind in thrall

I loved the singing of the bird,

The humming of the bee-

What joyful thoughts within me stirr'd

At nature's minstrelsy,

Childhood's a bright, a gloricua druam

A type of higher life,

That gilds out lot with many a bann

*atid real or fancied strife,

And cheers the heart of manhood's primo

When reetlows follies raga, And lightalh up with raya sublime

The glazing eye of age.
