-^=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. 1

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?
