As they stood there on the heather
Where the road had crossed the rill

Now her hand began to tremble, ;
And her eyes were fullJof tears,
As she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years ;
But she had no voice to .answer
Him ;she could not understand,-''.
F.or the future lay before her,
Like a far-off fairy land.
There was sunlight on the hejfther,
There was music iiithe rill
As they went away together,
Up the long, hardfiili.
Oftimes the way was sunny, '
Other times 'twas full of lures,
Bur the love that had come to them ,
Was the true love that endures.
Though the bonny brow is. wrinkled,
; Though the raven locks be gray,
Yet the road might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost is on the heather,
And the snow is on the rill.
And they're coasting down the short

Of the long, hard hill.
