THE OLD LOVE


VIC find the following floating about the news,

such fugitive poems:
met her; she was thin and DID,
She stopped, and trod with tottering feet
The hair was grey that once was gold,
The voice was harsh that once was sweet.
Her hands we're withercd, and llcr eyes,
Robbed of the sarish light of JOY,
We're dim; felt sad surprise
That had loved her when n boy.
But yet something in her air,
Restored me to the vanished time,
My heart grew young and seemed to wear
The brightness of my youthful prime.
took her withered hand in mine
Its touch recalled ghost of joy
kissed 1t with revcrent sigh,
For had loved her when boy.

THERE's NO SUCH THING AS DEATH

IdShES NJ SUCH THING AS DEATH.
There's no such thing as DEATH"
To those who think Alright;
'Tis but the racer casting of
What most impedes his flight;
'Tis but one little act,
Life's drama must contain;
One struggle keener than the rest,
And then an end of pain.
There's no such thing as DEATH"
That which is thus miscal!cd,
Is life escaping from the chains
That have so long enthralled:
'Tis once hidden star,
Piercing through the night,
To shine in gentle radiance forth
Amid its kindred fight.
"Theres no such thing as death"
In nature, nothing dies
From each sad remnant of decay
Some forms of life arise.
The faded leaf that falls,
All sere and brown to earth.
Ere long will mingle with the shapes
That give the ttoweret birth.
''Thcre's no such thing as death"
Tis but the blossom spray,
Sinking beiorc the coming fruit,
That seeks the Summers ray;
IT'S but the bud displaced,
AS comes the perfect flower;
'Tis faith exchanged for sight,
And WEAKNESS for power.
