- (continued from previous page)As they sleep in their dark abode,
With the damp earth piled above their head
Uncouscious of their load.
Here look at the moss-grown tombstones
You will see by the age and the name,
So short a time we are given
To walk by the old mill-stream.
But time is growing onwards.
One drop from the water-fall
It glides away like a shadow.
And so shall we, mortals all."
- "There is a sweet enchanting flower
Of pure celestial blue
That oft reminds me of that hour.
When we bid friends adieu.(continues on next page) - Collector
