IN A ROSE CARDEN. A hundred years from now, dear heart, We will not care at all; It will not matter then a whit, The honey or the gall , The summer days that we have known Will all forgotten be and flown; The garden w ill be overgrown Where now the rose', hill, A hundred years from now, dear heart. We will not mind the pain; The throbbing, crimson tide of life NX ill not hu\e left a stain, The song we sing n gethei, dear, The dream we dream together here, \X ill mean no more than means a tear Amid a Sumttiet rain A hundred years ft. m now, dejr heart. The grief will all be o'er, The sea of care w ill surge in vain Wpon a careless shore. These glasses we turn dow n t day. Here at the parting of the wav, We shall be wineless then as thev, And will not mind it more. A hundred years from now, dear heart, We'll neither know nor care What came of all life's bitterness, Or followed love's despair; Then fill the glasses up again And kiss me through the rose-leaf rain. We'll build one castle more in Spain And dream one more dream there NELLIE GRAY.

For you're gone from the old Kentucky sh re. When the moon had dim'ed the mountain and the stars were s.:;; g. mo, Then I’d take my darling Nellie Gray, And we’d float down the river in my li re red cj toe, While my banjo sweetly 1 would play. One night I went to see her, but she'd gone the c.ghh >rs .j> Ttie white man bound her with chains. They have taken her to Georgia for to wear her lee away, As she toils in the cotton and the cane. My canoe is und.r water and my banjo is unstrung — I’m tired of living any more. My eyes shall look downward and my song shall he unsung, While I stay on the old Kentucky shore. My eyes are getting blinded, and I cannot see my way Hark! There's somebody knocking at the door, O' I hear the angels calling, and I see my Nellie Gray— Farewell to the old Kentucky shore. CHORUS. O, my darling Nellie Gray, up to heaven there they say That they'll never take you from me any more; I’m coming, coming, coming, as the angelsclear the way, Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
