ΤΟ

ELSIE AND JESSIE

"C'est toi qui dors dans l'ombre, O sacré Souvenir.”

If we could have remembrance now

And see, as in the days to come

We shall, what's venturous in these hours:
The swift, intangible romance of fields at home,
The gleams of sun, the showers,

Our workaday contentments, or our powers

To fare still forward through the uncharted haze
Of present days.

[ocr errors]

For, looking back when years shall flow

Upon this olden day that's now,

We'll see, romantic in dimm'd hours,

These memories of ours.
