WHEN MAH Y WAS A LASSIE.
The marie trees were tinged with red.
The birch with golden yellow :
And high above the orchard wa Hs
Hnnjr apples rich and ine?-ow :
And that's the way, through'yonder ?ase,
. That looks so still and graisy
The way ) took one Sunday eve,
When Mary was a lassie.
You'd bardi? think tliat patient f.ice.
That looks *o thin and fadi-d.
"Was o.^ce the sweetest ure
That erer bonaet ?haded :
But wher 1 yent through yonder lane,
That looks still and grassy.
Those eyes weic bright, those cheek? were
fair
When Mary was a lassie.
But many a tende.- sorrow,
And u:my a patient cure,
I:?ve dade those furrows on ti:? face
That used io oe so fair,
?pur times to youd'-r church: -rd.
?Through the ? inc so still :.: d ?russy,
. ve Lura and laid away our dead,
Situ-: Mary was a lassie.
I4, nd so \ '>u set I'^e jrrown to tove
The wrinkles more thau rees :
artb's winter Sowers ar?* sweeter f?r
Than ail Spring's drwy . :

*hat looks sc :.;!? and glassy,
kS down the lane ? used ' ? go.
W?en Marv ivas a lassie.
