BREVITIES.

Glide in peace together;

Nature laughs as we pass by

In the summer weather.

I am young and brave and strong;

She is fair and tender;

To her, as we glide along,

Vows of love I render.

Down the stream alone I go

All alone and weeping;

Now has come the wind and snow

Where my love is sleeping.

Mindless of the winter cold,

Down the stream I 'm sailing;

She is dead and I am old,

And the wind is wailing.
