A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
BY CHARLES C. JLELAXD.
Thou and I in spirit land,
A thousand years ago,
"Watched the waves beat on the strand,
Ceaseless ebb and flow;
Vowed to love aud ever love?
A thousand years ago.
Thou and I in Greenwood shade,
Nine hundred years ago,
Heard the wild dove in the glad
Murmuring soft and low;
Vowed to love for ever more,
Nine hundred years ago.
Thou and I in yonder star,
?i-v? i j -Z..1
XJIgUI* UUI1UIVV1 ^wvia
Saw strange forms of light afar
In wild beauty glow ;
All things change, but love endures
Ifow as long ago.
Thou and I in Norman halls.
Seven hundred years ago,
Heard the warder ort the walls
Loud his trumpet Jblow?
"Ton amors sera tojors,"
Seven hundred years ago.
Thou and I in Germany,
Six hundred years ago?
Theu I bound the red cross on :
"True love, I must go?
But we part to meet again
In the endless flow!"
Thou and I in Syrian plains,
Five hundred years ago,
Felt the wild fire in our veins
io a lever giuw :
AH things die, but love lives oil
Now as long ago.
Thou and I In shadow land
Four hundred years ago,
Saw strange flowers bloom on
Strand,
Heard strange breezes blow ;
In the ideal love is real,
This alone I know.
Thou and I In Italy,
Three hundred years ago,
Lived in faith and died for God,
Felt the fagots glow;
Ever new and ever true,
Three hundred years ago.
Thou and I on Southern seas,
Two hundred years ago,
Felt the perfumed even breeze,
JSpoke in Spanish by the trees,
Had no care or woe;
Life went dreamily in song
Two hundred years ago.
Jhou and I 'mid Northern snows,
One hundred years ago,
jLed and an iron, silent life,
And were glad to flow
On wards into changing death,
One hundred years ago.
'f I1UU OUU X UU L V.ilJ
Met iu Fashion's show,
Love, did you remember me,
Love of long ago ?
Yen; \ve keep the fond oath sworn
A tho jsand years ago!
