iP'OTE T RGY


Filled is Iife's Goblet to the brim
And though my eyes with tears are dun,
And see its sparkling bubbles swim'
And chant a melancholy hymn ...
With solemn voice and slow.
No purple flowers--no garlands green.
Conceal the goblet's shade or sheen,
Nor maddening draughts of Hypocrene,
Like CLEANS of sunshine, fash between
tI; Thick Leaves of mistleioe. vr
This goblet wrought with curious art,
Is filed with waters that upstart,
When the deep fountains of the heart,
By strong commissions rent apart,
Are running all TO waste.
And as this mantling passes round,
With fennel it is Yreathed and crowned,
Whose seed and foliage sun embrowned'
Are in it's waters stepped and drowned,
~ ) And give bitter taste.
Above the lowly plant its towers
The fcnnel with its yellow flowers,
And in an earlier age than ours, q
Was gifted with the wondrous powers,
Lost vision to restore.
1t gave new strength and fearless mood;
And gladiators, fierce and rude,
Mingled in their daily food;
And he who battled and subdued,
A wreath of fennel wore.
Then in Lies Goblet freely press
The leaves that give it bitterness;
Nor prize the colored waters less,
For in thy darkness and distress,
~ New life and strength they give.
And he who has not learned to know
How false its sparkling bubbles show,
How bitter are the drops of woe,
Which from its brim may overflow
He mas not learned to live.
The prayer of Ajax was for light
Through all that dark and desperate fight,
The blackness of that monday night,
He asked but the return of sight,
To see his foeman's face.
Let our unceasing earnest prayer
Be too, for light-for strength to bear
Our portion of the weight of care,
That brushes into dumb despair
One half the human race.
o suffering, sad humanity
o We afflicted ones, who lie
STEPPED to the lips of misery,
Longing and yet afraid to die,
Patient, though sorely tried
pledge you in this cup of grief,
Where floats the fennels bitter leaf
The Battle Of our Life is brief,
The alarm-the struggle-the relief
Then sleep we side by side.
