They have been with me through the dreamy night— The blessed household voices, wont to fill My heart's clear depths with unalloy'd delight! I hear them still, unchang'd :—though some from earth Are music parted, and the tones of mirth— Wild, silvery tones, that rang through days more bright! Have died in others,-yet to me they come, Singing of boyhood back-the voices of my home! |
