Some songs and verses . AFTER. THE WEDDING ID you ever see two birds on a boughLooking into an empty nest? When the skies arc dark of an autumn day,And no birdiing to nestle against thebreast? How theyll try to chirp as if it were June, And the flowers a-dance to the songs they sing; But the air is wintry, the days out of tune, And they miss the birdiing from under the wing. Oh Father! who watches the sparrows fall. Who gives us our babies, who makes them wives, Who guards and cares for the birdlings all. Bless and protect them through all their lives. 28 MY LIGHT. HOUGH I should die to-night.

HOUGH I should die to-night. And lie in gloom Beneath the darkness of the funeral pail. One golden gleam of light Would pierce the darkness of the lonely roomAnd light for me the new, mysterious pathMy soul must take To find the future where no shadows breakThe glorious sunshine of ray of light so make all painFall out of memory, would bring againThe spring flowers neath my that ray of light would there be songAnd perfume, and the long,Sweet summer nightOf lovers. That ray of light,Your love for me, dear heart,The balm for all Lifes smart, 29 30 M y L 1 g h t The recompense for all of Lifes untruth,The music and the pulse of all Earths glorious ray of light! my sun and moon,My morning, night, and noon;The one thing I could carry on my wayInto the vast Forever from to-day.
