SHREDS AND PATCHES.
ON THE RIVER.
'TWAS moonlight there on the river:
We dreamily drifted along:
The stars on the water did quiver,
The breezes whispered their song;
We dreamily drifted along:
The stars on the water did quiver,
The breezes whispered their song;
And a spell was woven around us:
Our hearts were too full for speech;
For we thought of the tie that had bound us
When we plighted our vows each to each.
Our hearts were too full for speech;
For we thought of the tie that had bound us
When we plighted our vows each to each.
'Twas a year since the day we had parted,
And we were united once more—
Ah! we who had been broken-hearted
A look of contentment now wore.
And we were united once more—
Ah! we who had been broken-hearted
A look of contentment now wore.
