LIFE.


o, what Of life That poem bland;
So few read, and understand!
Life It's a theme that none may scorn
'Tis like the glorious bursting morn
When darkness robed inailits sway
Is wrestling with the dawning day.
Sweet infant, in the cradle there;
Nursel with such tender, loving care;
Dost dream while Angels guard thy sleep'
And round thy bed their yigils keep
That, life's tragic ending game
Thy Soul lies back from whence tcame
Time speeds away, youth decks the brow,
That in the cradle, slept but now,
Ambition, with It's starry train
Wakes phis Soul aud fires his brain,
His anxious, grasping, youthfli mind,
Would lay the future years behind.
Now. on that face. that youth has owned,
Developed Manhood sits enthroned
And wondering gazes back through tears,
And fain would stop the dying years
But ah His manly grasp gives way,
He cannot hold single day
Time viii not wait Gray hairs are now
The honor Of his wrinkled brow,
Youth. Manhood, has passed OF the stage,
Now reigns the peaceful king Of Age
The book Of life his thoughts engage
Each DAY hlls out another page.
Soon soon, he'll sleep and be at rest
The Easy Chair, viii miss Is guest,
see the Angel Throng af,r,
The PearlY Gate that half ajar
Awaits thy entr nee to that Heaven
