A Petition To Time

8Y BBTAN W. PBOOTOB. Touch us gently, Time I Let us glide adown thy stream Gently,- as we srmetimes glide Tlirough a quiet ilream ! Humble voyagers are we. Husband, wile, and children three- (One is lost,- an angel, fled To the azure' overhead I) Touch us gently, Time I We've not proud nor soaring wings : Our anibitioij, our content, L:es in simple things. Humble voyaers are we, O'er life's dim, unsounded se, Seeking only some calm clime : - Touch us geully, gentle time ! JHifJigonJrps
