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.
