FANNY.

Sounds as of far-off bells came on his ears—
He fancied 'twas the music of the spheres.

'Twas Yankee Doodle played by Scudder's band:
He muttered, as he lingered listening,
Something of freedom and our happy land;
Then sketched, as to his home he hurried fast,
This sentimental song—his saddest, and his last:
SONG.
1.
And happiness their theme;
And music wanders in the wind
That lulls a morning dream.
And there are angel voices heard,
In childhood's frolic hours,
When life is but an April day
Of sunshine and of showers.
2.
When summer winds are there,
And in the laugh of forest girls
That braid their sunny hair.
