THE AFTER-ECHO
How long the echoes love to play
Around the shore of silence, as a
wave
Retreating circles down the sand!
One after one, with sweet
delay,
The mellow sounds that cliff and island gave,
Have lingered
in the crescent bay,
Until, by lightest breezes fanned,
They float far
off beyond the dying day
And leave it still as death.
But hark,--
Another singing breath

Comes from the edge of dark;
A note as clear and slow
As falls
from some enchanted bell,
Or spirit, passing from the world below,

That whispers back, Farewell.
So in the heart,
When, fading slowly down the past,
Fond memories
depart,
And each that leaves it seems the last;
Long after all the rest
are
