 TENDER AND PLEASANT THOUGHTS. 



Pray you, love, remember 

 There 's Pansies that 's for thought.

SENTIMENT. 



I 've pleasant thoughts that memory brings, 



In moments free from care, 

 Of a fairy-like and laughing girl, 



With roses in her hair: 

 Her smile was like the star-light 



Of summer's softest skies, 

 And worlds of joyous.>ess there shone 



From out her witchL^ eyes. 



Her looks were looks of rm-'ody, 



Her voice was like the sweu 

 Of sudden music, notes of mirth, 



That of wild gladness tell. 

 She came like spring, with pleasant sounds 



Of sweetness and of mirth, 

 And her thoughts were those wild flowery ones 



That linger not on earth. 



I know not of her destiny, 



Or where her smile now strays; 

 But the thought of her comes over me 



With my own lost sunny days, 

 With moonlight hours, and far off friends, 



And many pleasant things, 

 That have gone the way of all the earth 



On Time's resistless wings. 



Mrs. L. P. Smith,
