MY GARDEN.

, K Mm * garden rich in blooms Of unfOrgotten hours, !Wh«r« tendrils from the plants of youth Have formed unfading bowers. Ha foot, save mine, e'er passes through The gate of this “done-By’*; Ko ear, save mine, can catch the words, Or hear the gentle sigh , Which comes to me across the bridge Of Time’s stupendous spaced To touch with soothing balm the heart Where grief has left her trace. Ho hand, save mine, can cull the flowers From recollection’s seeds; Ha aye, save mine, can see the light Which grows from noble deeds. Mo heart, save mine, can feel response To every prayer and dream; Ha soul, save mine, can dra"w the glow From memory’s golden beam. Bennett Gilbert*
