A Mortgaged Inheritance.

There is a land whose streams did wind More winningly than these. Where finer shadows played behind The clean-stemmed beechon trees. The maidens there were deeper eyed. The lads more swift and fair. And angels waited at each one’s side— Would God that I were there! Here daffodils are dressed in gold But there thye wore the sun. And here the btoots are bought and sold But there God gave each one. .There all roads led to fairyland That here do lead to care. And stars were lamps on Heaven’s strand— Would God that X were there! * Here worship drawls upon her course But there with larks would cope. And here her voice with doubt is hoarse But there was sweet with hope. O land of peace! my spirit dies For thy once tasted air, O earliest loss: O prise;— Would God that 1 Mire there!
