BY YER EUS.
THE idle gift of Earth, the hollow praisd.
The love that lives not but in empty word,
That sncth only in the sunshine days,
And fadeth when the note is hedrd--
Not this, the worship of my heart for thee,
Not this the aspiration 10 offmy life;
Fate keeps for us higher destiny,
For life with higher things thai i5ve is rio.
The great Appointer of our humble spheres
Gives each of us mission to fulfil
Some do their tasks with vain, repining te1rs,
And some do Nell, while some, alas do i'll.
Thy star of destiny, to mine allied,
VIII never with diminished luster shine;
While mine, with higher aim and higher pride,
May gain more enduring light than thine.
Like to the bark upon storm-tossd sea,
With none to guide her when the tempest came
SO desolate his earth-career will be,
Who lives without purpose, an aim
And. like that bark, unconscious OF its fate,
With no controlling hand upon the deck,
The knowledge Of his peril comes too late,
And leaves him the shore of life, wreck.
should not love thee if thy woman heart
Craved nothing more from me than simple love ;
And were that all it could to mo impart,
1t would not thus my higher nature move.
We both may throw most endearing grace
Around this higher, purer life of ours,
And duty then will wear sweeter face,
live do, daily, wreathe her brow with flowers.
I owe a double homage unto thee
The worship of the heart and of the mind
The one makes up the life of ''thee and me-"
The other has "self," but all mankind
glory in thy loneliness and grace,
But in thy intellect and soul the more;
For Time will steal the beauties from thy face,
While these have won eternal fame from yore.
He who, to learn the purposes of life,
Pores Ger the tones of Wisdoms mighty store,
Had better turn unto its daily strife,
The lesson is not found in tho ancient lore.
sought myself the problem once to solve
In vain l searched among the sagcs' shelves:
The stars. mhieh in their perfect spheres resotue,
Perpetual shine on all, except themselves.
Let us, 0 worshipped of my heart reclaim
Our thoughts from every selfish thing which
mars
The pertectness Of life for which we aim,
And humby STRIFE to emulate the stars,
Aud with this inspiration from the skies,
And study, deep, of Natures holy laws,
We may, perchance, deserve a higher prize
Than simple Fame, or all the worlds applause.
