What thoughts wouldst thou in me awaken 1 
Not love ? for that brings only tears — 
Nor friendship ? no, I was forsaken ! 
Pleasure I have not known for years : 
The future I would not foresee, 
I know too much from what is past, 
No happiness is there for me, 
And troubles ever come too fast. 
Said Time, "No comfort have I brought, 
The past to him's one painful thought." 
Somehow the flowers seem different now. 
The Daisies dimmer than of old ; 
There's fewer blossoms on the bough, 
The Hawthorn buds look gray and cold ; 
The Pansies wore another dye 
When I was young — when I was young ! 
There's not that blue about the sky 
Which every way in those days hung. 
There's nothing now looks as it "ought." 
Said Time, "The change is in thy thought." 
Miller. 
I think of thee at morn, when glisten 
The tearful dew-drops on the grass ; 
I think of thee at eve, and listen, • 
When the low, whispering breezes pasFi.
