KEEPSAKES.
"I have been looking over a box of keepsakes. Each little trinket had a voice which spoke to me of the Past."
- Private Letter.
A ring—a simple band of pearl—
And yet the image fair
Of a true-hearted, merry girl,
With step as free as air,
And eye all bright as evening's star,
These faded pearls recall—
The earliest playmate of my love,
And fairest of them all:
Around a pure, unclouded brow,
Her silken tresses gaily flow,
And yet the image fair
Of a true-hearted, merry girl,
With step as free as air,
And eye all bright as evening's star,
These faded pearls recall—
The earliest playmate of my love,
And fairest of them all:
Around a pure, unclouded brow,
Her silken tresses gaily flow,
