I sit beside the sinking fire,
Watch the weirl faces iI its glow';
All throuighIi the Iight I slioul not tire,
But thavy ve faded long ago.

Ashes to ashes !-well I know

Those wvhom .1 loved, so long ago.
How surely tis with me will be
From every potty joy and woe,
From fncided slight, fromI jealotisy
Made free and safe-ah ! long ago.
And yet may some things with us stay;
As on the waters, ies blow
In white anl green--jnat as they lay
.In white and green, .o 11ng ago.
Tis pleasant now to thinzk--Perhaps
hi Memory's light one's face may
g'low;''
"Oit, upo lTillc!' -for all things Ia pse
In that sad, dreary long ago.

Thou whoi li used to treasure so;
Yet iay oln tear' thjine eyelid we't,
Because I loved thee-long ago
