how soon we're doomed to meet Its thorny sorrows too; And scarce a joy of riper years, But glistens too with memory's tears. Yes! memory loves to linger yet On scenes of early joy, O will thy manly age forget The fondness of the boy. O say, shall friendship, love, and truth. Die with the vanished days of youth! THE BIRTH DAY. 139 My brother, no ! not thus I deem The world can alter thee ; Nor shall its false bewildering dream Ere work such change in me. The heart's warm feelings time may chill,... But let us love like children still. And oh! if ever fondest prayer Be heard beyond the skies ; Then health and peace will be thy share. And love with smiling eyes, With social bliss thy home will cheer. And joy keep birth-days all the year! But not the fleeting joys of earth. Will then alone be thine ; But happiness of purer birth. And pleasures more divine. Of heaven, thy soul will be the heir, And angels keep its birth-day there ! 140 MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. DUBLIN LIGHT HOUSE. The moon's waning crescent is faded and gone, ' Tis night on the waters — and darkling, and lone.
