SUNNY MEMORIES. 
BY MY11TA MAT. 
flimvy Memories, how je linger 
Bound my throbbing heart to-nighU 
Vow the l‘mit with myatic finger, 
Trace* dreams and Ylsiomi bright 
Sunny Memories! ye are winging 
To my heart your silent way; 
O’er my path a glory flinging 
Brighter than the opening day. 
Softly comes the shadowy even. 
With its gift of peace to me, 
The dull chain of care is riven, 
And my fottored soul is free. 
Unseen hands are gently lightening 
Every burden from my heart— 
All within my spirit brightening, 
As the gloomy clouds depart. 
Care I for the world's cold scorning 
Whilo these Sunny visions stay? 
I nin blest, until the morning 
Drive the blissful dreams away. 
Clouds may lower dark abovo mo, 
Underneath the thorns bo strewn, 
None be left to know or love mo, 
I’vo a blessing all my own. 
Sunny Memories! always hover 
Round this restless, throbbing heart, 
Till I.ife's “ fitful fever” over 
Every earth-dream shall depart.

those he hoped to find just a little way in advance.
