MEMORIES
WHEN evening shadows come,
And cast fantastic forms
O'er wooded hill and dale
And silv'ry lake forlorn:-
Where gentle zephyrs sigh
And to night winds give way:-
Their murm'ring echoes tell
The death of closing day:-
When peace and quiet reign
At mid-night's lonely hour:-
Oh, when the soul does claim
New strength from higher Power:-
When all fond hope has fled
And love within is dead:-
Will you remember me,
In lonely days to be,
Dream o'er the happy past,
Regret it could not last.
And cast fantastic forms
O'er wooded hill and dale
And silv'ry lake forlorn:-
Where gentle zephyrs sigh
And to night winds give way:-
Their murm'ring echoes tell
The death of closing day:-
When peace and quiet reign
At mid-night's lonely hour:-
Oh, when the soul does claim
New strength from higher Power:-
When all fond hope has fled
And love within is dead:-
Will you remember me,
In lonely days to be,
Dream o'er the happy past,
Regret it could not last.
