Poems (E. L. F.)/Lines—"Oh! let my heart linger"
LINES.
On! let my heart linger o'er days that have been, When young joy was the light of my life;Ere I knew and had felt that this worldly scene With such soul-stirring trials was rife.
Oh! let me retrace, with fond memory's gaze, The spring-time of feeling and truth;When I thought not of sadness, nor dreamt of the days That should darken the visions of youth.
