But, as I questioned thought and feeling grew, And mingled scenes and interests, Old and new; Old dreams came rushing on me, thick and fast.

Excerpt from The Re-Strung Harp Poems

The Re-Strung Harp.

In years agone my harp was laid away;
The harp o'er which my fingers used to stray,
And wake its ready strings to varied tones -
Now gay - and now suppressed and trembling moans.

The years have come and gone, in rapid flight,
And left me gray of hair, and dim of sight;
My harp, untouched, forgotten, long has lain,
All hush'd its notes to songs of joy or pain.

Today, as recollection backward turned,
And scenes, long past, within my memory burned,
My harp, with dust and cobwebs cover'd o'er,
Persistent claimed my consciousness once more.

And can it be re-strung and tuned again?
And will the ear take pleasure in its strain?
Ah, me! why hath it lain, unused, so long,
If I and it have yet the power of song?
