CROQUIS.

BY THE RIVER.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

I LOVE to sit on the grassy banks

Of the dancing, dashing river,

And see its waters onward speed,

And its wrinkled eddies quiver.

I love to think that ages hence,

Advertisement

When I have gone forever,

Still other eyes will with delight

Behold the rushing river.

THEN AND NOW.THE lilacs by the garden gate

Swing in the sweet wind dreamily;

But one comes late,

Who earlier came to me

In olden time and otherwhere.

O dreamer by the unquiet sea
