-^=rmWhon I Saw Sweet Nelly Home.
In tho sky the bright stars glittered.On the grass the moonlight
fell.
Hushed the sound of daylight's bustle,3 Glosed the pinlc-eyed
pimpernell, jAs down the moss-growa wood-path.Where the cattlc love
to roam.,
From aunt Pattie's quilting party jI was seeing Kelly home.

Jetty ringlets softly flutteredO'er a brow white as snow,
Ana ner cnec-us:.tfco crimson sunset.Scarcely bad a warmer glow;
(
Mid her parted lips' Vermillion, 11"White teeth flashed like
ocean's foam, !1
All I marked with pulses throbbing.An I taw (Tweet Nelly
home
When tho Autumn tinged tho greenwood,Turning all tho leave6 to
gold, ,
In the lawn by aiders shaded, ]I my love to Nelly told ;
As we stood together gazingOn tho atar-beapangled dome, ^
How I blest tho August eveningWhen I saw sweet Nelly home.
"White hairs mingle with my tressee.Furrows steal upon ray brow,
_
But a love tmile checrj and blcsaoLife's docliniug moments
now;
Matron in a enow 'kerchief,Closer to my bosom come.
Tell me dost thou still rememberWhen I Paw sweet Nelly home?
