GEYSER LILY. 



ANNIVERSARY. 



RONDEAU. 



HTHE bells were told to ring in glee 

 * The day when first thou cam'st to be 

 Our home's delight ; and in my heart, 

 By Love's supreme, mysterious art, 

 These bells have rung unceasingly. 



And on this day there comes to me 

 Anew the tender memory 



Of that sweet joy, which but in part 

 The bells were told. 



Dear child, in whose sweet eyes I see 

 The Heaven that waits above for me, 



How far from me would Heaven depart ; 



How comfqrtless would be my heart, 

 If through some darkened day for thee 

 The bells were tolled !
