Long, Long Hence.

LONG, LONG HENCE.

AFTER a long, long course, hundreds of years, denials, Accumulations, rous'd love and joy and thought, Hopes, wishes, aspirations, ponderings, victories, myriads of  
 readers, Coating, compassing, covering—after ages' and ages' encrus- 
 tations, Then only may these songs reach fruition.
