The Evening of Life. The day i 9 fast nearing its close, The sky has been clouded all day But now as evening steals on The white rifted clouds sail away; And the rays of the low setting sun Dance and laugh through the leaves as at Play. , A soft gentle wind stirs the leaves, Laden with breath from the flowers; As It sighs and moans in the trees, Through the quiet of twilight hours. N Swaying the long slender boughs. And rocking the birds in the breeze. =QA=da£mhflnlcfcaAfelng of thn nnnt Thy return wc may await all in vain; Thy moments and hours nearly spent With thy pleasures, thy teartaches amd pain. „ Nothing hut memory isTeft, Of the day that is now on the wane. ~ Oh life! thou art only a day, i_ Skies clouded with sorrow and grief; Except now and then a sunbeam Of pleasure and joy brings relief. But the sun is soon hidden by clouds Of sorrow, for joy is but brief. ■>: . -' - . ' . ' ' - • Though.the day may be gloomy and sad, Though dark clouds may cover the sky, , 'O Our hearts may be cheerful and gay. If this sorrow and gloom we lay by; For remember, behind the dark clouds, The glorious bright sun shines on high. “ ••; ' ' l r And then in the evening of life, When the sunr for fo set never, May the dark clouds be wafted awav, By the-hand of an all-wise c ather, Who will welcome us home to the land, Where the sun will be shlulug lorever, • ■— . v-P* Medaryvllle, Ind.
