WHY is TT
by MARY cLEMMER AMEs.

Why is il that the hour of joy so bright
Is darkened with the tho shadow of despair
As whom the summer heavens bathed in light
And the green earth puts on her loyeiest air
The tempest cloud will rise with sudden gloom
Aud make tho world as dreary rs a tomb.
Why is it, when think that anger sleeps,
No more to waken in the peaceful breast,
One bitter taunt will stir its fiery deeps,
One keen reproach will rouse ii from its res?
And though we dreamed that were near to heaven,
We still must weep and pray to BIO forgiven.
Why is it. whom we think that we have won
A faithful heart that never will betray,
When we have loved and trusted in that one
Why must we find our love all thrown away?
Learn though we thought that all the world were
The bitter lesson, that true friends are few?
Why is it, when forgetful of its storms,
We sail so calmly on lifo's sunny sea?
When Hopes young rays shine us bright and
warm,
And heaven and earth beam with tranquility,
That sad forebodings whisper in our ear
OF coming woes, which fill the soul with fear?
Why is it, when no shadow meets our sight,
When tho soul scars upon exultant wing,
When all the pulses tremble with delight,
And Nil the muses. in our pathway sing,
That thou, 0 Death w1t lay idols low,
And DER their now made graves we pour our woe?
Why is it2 O, how often have asked
Myself this question, when, with stern control,
To peaceful resignation have tasked
My lonely, weeping, and despairing soul.
And heavenly answers soothed my deep distress,
And robbed my anguish Of its bitterness.
Why is it? 0, these griefs are sent to wean
Our hearts from joys which they would love toe
well
Do they not point us to a world serene,
Where carth's immortals evermore may dwell;
And raise our thoughts above all human strife
Unto purer and happier life
