LOM AT LAST•
And eb he loses me, thoogil they said
No lover e'er would come to me.
Thit I ehoula weer lie mooed or wed,
Or nurse %child upon my knee;
They were n , sure that I would Ibis/
The ttroinau's heritage ,of bll , s. -
And 1, too, in the sad gray hours,
Viten through low clouds no sunlight admit',
And when the slow September showers
Seerpuol nature's tears for Summer gone,
1 'unframed with a long sad sigh,

But now I know that what to mo .
ti,:ninted Autumn rains wore sliowers . of Spring;

Snoner'llas pime, and now I sea
Id says MI loves me, and to-day

Atut'yei to me these eyes teem,tlitu,

But now th 0 ,.., eye, shall yet he bright,
And once again tht4 brow grow light._ if
