so conju'res up one, of the sweetest images in
the world.. He ivas,revisitiriethe home of his

strange flowers could not etface; and rank grass

obliterate, his ctehortest, footseps," and his

'into that rosy time when he'did not know that'
therns were under roses; or that clouds Would
ever rettirkafter the thought a.

of rain a flower; when he fancied.thatlife had
