Lxiv.—Little Faihy.
LXIV . —LITTLE FAIHY . A VILLAGE STORY .
I. Lovely Brookland! Peaceful Village,
I . Lovely Brookland ! peaceful village ,
With its quaint , old-fashioned ways , And its simplehomely people ,
, With ideas of other days ; Stoodsurrounded by small mountains ,
Far , down in a woody glen ; Far away from busy cities ,
Far from haunts of worldly men . Bright and happy looked old Brookland ,
With its stream that seemed to play In a frolic past the houses ,
Ere it wandered far away . It was one of those dear hamlets ,
Where men tired of care and strife , Oft have sighed to hide their troubles ,
And to calmly end their life . Michael Harman lived at Brookland ,
Where his fathers long had dwelt . " Poor old man—hard-working blacksmith , "
Gossips said , "he ' s trouble felt . " Foradvanced in yearshe married
A , young wife who , faithless , , fled , Leaving but one little daughter
For old Mike to love instead .
