AN ECHO by ALEXANDER LOUIS FRASER

First Line: HE DEEMED IT DEAD,-THE SOUND OF THAT WHICH FLEW
Last Line: HE STOOD ON LIFE'S SERE SLOPES,—THEY MET AGAIN.
Subject(s): DEATH; ECHOES; DEAD, THE;
He deemed it dead,—the sound of that which flew
From his once careless hand, when morning dew
So softly lay upon his verdant field;
But, Ah! that missile struck Convention's shield;
It whizzed and sang above dead years, so when
He stood on life's sere slopes,—they met again.
