MEMORIES.
At twilight , when the shadows
Lie softly in the room ,
When naught , beahlo tliu firelight
Illuminates the gloom ;
At twilight , when the day fades ,
With all its busy cnres ,
Old memories waken from their Bleep
And hold mo unawares.
They bid mo welcome as their guest ,
High carnival hold sway ,
While I , half doubting , yield myself
And bid them have their way.
The years flit by as shadows ,
Glide from the cloud's swift wing.
Friends , dead and scattered , gather there ,
While sweetly memories sing :
Of times that passed right merrily
Before the open flro ;
Of laugh and song , while howling storm
But bade the flames leap higher ;
Of choice hours spent on favorite books ,
With these who loved them well ,
I hear each tone and see each glance
Neath memory's mystic spell.
Each friend holds still a niche , a place
Or better still , a tone
In that great harp of memorj * ,
That sounds for them alone.
In twilight , when the strings are swept ,
That sweep my heart as well ,
Each to its own rings true
Yet blends in one harmonious swell.
All distances are leveled.
The years drop out of sight.
All bitterness forgotten is ,
At memory's feast tonight.
Still sing they of the quiet hours
From all the world , apart ,
When firelight shown on little ones ,
That rested on my heart.
While cradle song awoke the gloom ,
And soft the shadows fell
O'er baby eyes of deepest blue ,
While slumber wove her spell.
Each year brings to mo some fresh flower ,
In childhood's garden grown.
'Tis memory's sweetest offering ;
I claim it for my own.
Some dreams that leapt before the fire ,
As leaps the kindling flame ,
Are realized today ; while some
Have died without a name.
Heap high their graves ! At memory's feast ,
Not one shall bo forgot ,
For each Love hath her Immortelles :
The years shall change them not.
Give o'er kind friends , the night is past ,
The hearth-stone has grown cold.
The day dawns on the present ,
The future is untold.
