One summer noon, a sad eyed mAn--to whom
Lies road from youth had lain through grief and
gloom
And every milestone was q loved ones tomb.
M.n{et'd asld, II haply he might ind,
sohS in the brook, or breathed upon the wind,
Some message from the souls for whom he pined.
Ru, when he foand ttS fhGA6 in the rill,
Sun. dWindled TO thread, and each leaf still:
t.see. >, meansd he, tsto the sick oil goeth Ill"
And hiding bis wet face In the deep gtass,
He pray,d lifes challce from bis lip'a hight pass,
Ana his last grain of.sand fall through the glass.
Then as he rose. through ferns that strove to hde
Hedged In by weeds, a wiid-nower he espied
Bent earthward by a dew-drop; 50 he cried:
"Frail' bloom, that weepest IN thy hidden look
Alone, like sorrow, by the world forsook,
All the day long NO sun can on the look ]"
Rut. while he snake, q little wand Of light
Pass,d through the leaves, making all fairy bright
And what had seem'd tear TO his dull sight
Was now o tiny rainbow in cup
NE thinest silver, whence the beam did sup,
And BY degrees the flower was lifted up;
,n Z.
And seem,d to follow with wstful eye
A little drift of mist into the sky,
Rising TO Join the clouds that aoated by:
Perchance, ere close Of day,te fall In rain
And help sonte seward stream' or thirsty pam
Perchance TO ifiekie down some window-pane
Where sick child doth watch, and SO beguiie
THE prin.drawn lips to curve into smile,
And brighten its dull eyes little While!
And seeing ali that one small drop might do'
He felt why ccister'd Thus The blossom grew;
nnd wsy 50 late it wore tho morning dew;
And, with lighter heart, he went his way
Trusting, at Gods own time, some golden ray
would gloom on him, and touch his dark today
