THE OLD MAN ANDJTHE SPRING
LEAVES.
Underneath the beecben tree
All things fall in love with me!
Birds, that sing so sweetly, s'jng
Ne'er more sweet when I ws,* young:
Some sweet breeze. I *ciil m i see,
Steals to kiss me lov'ngly:
All the leaves so blithe and bright,
Dancing sing inMayi n^ llgUt
Over me: "At last, at Uát,
He has stolen from the pa t."
Wheref ore, leaves, so ghtdly mad1
1 am rather sad than glad ,
" He is the merry child that flayed
Underneath our be< rt
Years ago; whom aH.thinj? br^i i
Gladdened, glad with his d*Tghtr
I am not 4ho child that p'ayai
Underneath your beecheu ah&'e,
I am not the boy ye sung
■Sougs to, in lost fairy-tong'ie.
He read fairy dreams below,
Legends,Heavt-s, snd flowsrs mu.M Iinow;
He dreamed Üséry dreams, and ye
Changed to fairies, in your glee
Dancing; singing from the tree,
Aud, awakened, fairy-land
Circled childhood's magic wand'
Joy swelled his heart, joy kissed his brow
I am following funerals now.
Fairy shores from Time depart,
Lost horizons flush my heart,
1 am not the child that played
Underneath your beecben sua-.e.
'"Tis the merry child that played
Underneath our beechen shade
Years ago; whom all things bright
Loved, ma le glad with his delight
i4h! the bright leaves will not know
Thai an old man dr am* below
No; they will not hear u r me,
Clapping their hands at findiug m *
Staging, daacin# ftvm their tr #e
Ah? their happy v.óe •« u-ni
Time away; again 1 feel,
While they wifeg to me apart
The; lost child «teal in ti*y heart,
They enchant me to the past -
