Bringing again

Fond memories, and dreams of many a kindred heart,

Dim cloistered in my bosom’s shrine apart.

And then came visions of my own bright home —

The happy band

Far distant—who at eventide oft come,

Linked hand in hand —

When to my quickened fancy love hath lent

Each thrilling tone, and each fond lineament.

They come again—the young, the beautiful —
