How we met and loved and parted, Noue on earth can ever know— Nor how pure and gentle-hearted Beamed the mourned one years ago! Like the stream with lilies laden, Will life’s future current flow, Till in heaven I meet the maiden Fondly cherished years ago. Hearts that love like mine forget not; They’ie the same in weal or woe; And that star of memory set not In the grave of years ago.
