The golden time of Long Ago.

I. H. Bromley.

    His love was like the liberal air,—
  Embracing all, to cheer and bless;
And every grief that mortals share
  Found pity in his tenderness.

I. H. Bromley.

7843

    Fierce for the right, he bore his part
  In strife with many a valiant foe;
But Laughter winged his polished dart,
  And kindness tempered every blow.

I. H. Bromley.

“My mother says I must not pass
Too near that glass;
She is afraid that I will see
A little witch that looks like me,
With a red mouth to whisper low
The very thing I should not know.”

The Witch in the Glass.

    This was your butterfly, you see—
  His fine wings made him vain:
The caterpillars crawl, but he
  Passed them in rich disdain.—
My pretty boy says, “Let him be
  Only a worm again!”

After Wings.

Henry Mills Alden. (1836–1919)
