A MEMORY, by EDWARD BLISS REED
First Line: Over the balsams a golden fleece
Last Line: Gently the night winds sigh.
Subject(s): Memory
First Line: Over the balsams a golden fleece
Last Line: Gently the night winds sigh.
Subject(s): Memory
Over the balsams a golden fleece
Floats in the evening sky.
Gently the night wind whispers peace,
Softly the branches sigh.
Joys that once thrilled,
Sorrows that stilled,
Come not again from the past.
Hopes that once led
Are forgotten and dead,
Then why should this memory last?
Over the balsams a golden fleece
Fades in the darkening sky.
A wood-thrush is singing of rest and of peace,
Gently the night winds sigh.
