WHAT ARE BUBBLES?
BY SUSAN PINDAR.

b1 SUSAN f1NDAh.
sWhat are bubbles?' asked child,
Gazing with bewildered eyes,
On the spheres of fairy form,
Glittering with the rainbow dyes:
'They seem to sail so gaily on,
Yet when grasph them they are gone.'
What are bubbles ?-Careless boy,
Thou ask'st question rife
With stern meaning deeply trac'd
On the varied page of life.
And voice, with sadness fraught,
Answers from the cells of Thought:
Hopes are bubbles, born to burst
When their hues brightest seem;
And the joys that DER our path
Scatter delusive CLEAN,
Like bubbles sparkling in the sun,
Are only bright when shone upon.
Fame, ambition, the delights
We have longed for years to clasp,
Won at length, through toll and strife,
Perish in our eager grasp:
Grief and gladness-pleasures, troubles,
All alike are empty bubbles!
Lies bubble, bright and brief,
And its ever changing dyes
With purer brllliance glows,
As it mounts towards the skies;
Till waited on Times passing breath,
IT'S shattered by the touch of Death.

There is voice for me,
In every breezy moan
That winds tho that ancestral tree
A voice of ages gone.
And in its tone there lies
A deep, subduing spell.
To charm me cen as those that rise
From haunted cave or dell.
IT'S like the solemn lay
Ofwinds, mid autumn bowers,
Telling OF summer flown away,
On the wing of festive hours.
IT'S like some lutte, that brings
In old familiar strain,
The memory Of departed things
Back TO the heart again.
Lonely, forsaken tree!
Those that grew up in pride,
And flung their arms to heaven, like thee
Have fallen at thy side.
Thou art the only trace
Left ofthat stately wood;
Signing above persisted race,
In mourhful solitude.
Before the vine was reared,
For cottage homes screen,
Thy high and waving crest appeared,
With plumes of living green.
And when the woodman laid
Thy humber kindred low,
He eyed thee doatingly, and said,
"Hele will stay my blow"
Oh many hearts have blest,
In gratitude, thy shade,
Who now in yonder churchyard rest,
With the forgotten dead.
The merry and the fair
Beneath thy boughs have met;
Their memory seems TO fill the air,
And haunt thy shadows yet.
Now from the wreck of years,
Der times long fearful waste,
Thy low and dirgelke music bears
These voices Of the past.
Long may thy towering head,
In fadeless honor wave,
Thou lone memento of the dead
Thou relic of the grave.
