ALTBY HOUSE,
When yon wander forth alone.
And the shades of evening fall
With their fitful, shadow gloom,
O'er creation like a pall.
When the stars are seen above,
And the fire-fly on the lea,
Like the meteor flame of Love,
Oh, then remember me !
When joy is breathing near thee,
A light and dulcet strain,
When sorrow doth not spare thee,
Its deep-felt thrill of pain.
In thy hoars of social gladness,
When the soul is full of glee,
In thy lonely hours of sadness,
Oh, then remember me :
I shall think of thee at even,
When the memories of the past,
Like the pilgrim's dreams of heaven
Come thronging wild and fast;
I shall watch thy favorite planet
In its pure unclouded flight,
And shall lancy thou art gazing
On the splendor of its light.
