For wearily we turned away Into the world of everyday, And from thy heart the sweetness fled Like the rose leaves on the river shed; But to me that hour is sweeter far Than the world and all its treasures are; Still to sit on, so close to thee, Were happiness enough for me 1 Still to sit on in a green nook, To reach out hands forever, To pluck the rose leaves, Charmian ! To watch them fade on the golden river, Ajid near no sound from the world of man. CITY INTELLIGENCE. FOB ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS 8KB OUTSIDE PA8K8. Ocr Firemen.
