The old trees<br>That lift their tall green heads against the sky,<br>Are relies of past ages, and there seems,<br>Beneath their dim gray shade, to linger yet<br>A faint and mournful echo of the tones<br>Of the old forest tribes.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But when the hush,<br>And the dim beauty of the twilight steals<br>O'er the calm earth, and on thy spirit lies<br>A shadow and a pensiveness as sweet,<br>Then memory will lift the mystic screen<br>That veils departed years, and give them back<br>The consecrated past; and thou shalt stand<br>'Midst scenes where thou hast stood in other days;<br>And the gay laugh, and the remember'd tone,<br>Will seem, with startling vividness, to thrill<br>Across thy ear—but mine will not be there;<br>Thy memory hath no garner'd thought of me—<br>Yet think of me, for there may gleam a light<br>Amidst thy twilight dreams, from scenes to which<br>I turn for my most sweet remembrances;<br>Oh, how one charmed word will start to life<br>A thousand breathing memories of the past!<br>Schuylkill! sweet Schuylkill! and still dearer loved,<br>And hallow'd with yet deeper, sweeter thoughts,<br>My own dear native vale, and the bright flood*<br>That makes it beautiful! name them again,<br>For thou hast trodden there, and let me dwell<br>With thee upon the past! Yet they will come<br>To thee, with but a stranger's parting glance<br>Of brief and pleasant memory—to me—<br>With tales of childhood's years, of hours of glee,<br>Friendships, and tears, and rainbow-pinion'd hopes,<br>And all the sacred thoughts that halo home!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(*The Brandywine)</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Elizabeth+Margaret+Chandler">Elizabeth Margaret Chandler</a> from <i>Poetical Works</i><div class=q>
