EVERY YEAR. ——————————— fife is a count of losses, Every year; Yor the weak are heavier crosses Every year; Lost springs, with sobs replying, Unto weary autumn sighing; While those we love are dying Every year. The days have less of gladness Every vr: The aifht more weight of sadness . Every year; Fair springs no longer charm us; The winds and weather harm us; The threats of death alarm us Every year, There come new cares and sorrows Every vear; Dark days and darker morrows Every vear; The ghosts of dead loves haunt us, The ghosts of dead friends taunt us, And disappointments daunt us Every year. To the past go more dead faces Every vear As the loved leave Every year; vacant places Everywhere their sad eyes meel In the evening's dusk they gr nd to come to them entre; very year. » OT ine old KFOowing oidqg, “You are “Every year.” “You are “Every You can win no new affection You have only jon, Deeper sorrow and dejection, more alone,” year: recollect Every year The shores of life are Every And we are Every Old places, changing, The living more forget There are fewer to reg Snr. seaward drifti year, Every year drimwvs nig!
