IN AN OLD SCHOOL ROOM. THE desks are placed the same old wayThe cloaks and hats beside the door;The children laugh while at their playAs gayly as they did before. And lo! the heart is strangely stirredWith hints of unforgotten pain; How long since that old song was heard-Who conjured back those curls again?
