THRPAss DEATH !.

1t was a 49, q -
Natered with tWnan tears,
For Death kept the outer gate
Almost six thousand years.
And the ceaseless tread of a worlds feet
Was ever in my ears
ThrongIng, jostling, hurrying by,
As il they were only born to die
A stately king drew near,
This narrow pass TO tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe,
And a crown was on his head;
But Death, with look Of whitening scorn,
Arrested him and said,
In humble dress must the king draw near,
For the crown an purple are useless here.
Next came man of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
Aud he DO re in his hand alengthy scroll,
Telling Of sums untold
Bur Death, who careth not tor rank,
Careth as little for gold
Here that scroll l cannot allow.
For the gold ofthe rich ST i, pow'less now
Another followed fast,
And a book was in his hand.
Filled with the flashes OF burning thought
That are known in many land
But the child Of genius GuSied TO hear
Deaths pi.iless demand
Here that book cannot enter with thee
For the fash ofgeu.us is nothing to me.
Next came a maiden fair,
With that eve 50 deep y bright,
That stirs w.t.pn you stcduge sweet care,
Should you meet on n summer night
But Death, ere the maid passed through,
Snatchcd away lis light, -
/ Beauty is power III tGe world he saith
/ But wha; can il do ia the Pass OF Death?
I a youth of -ickly micu
Followed IN thoughtful mood
| Whose heart was filled with I'VE 70 Gal
And the early brotherhood
