The Game of Life.

With eager hand Hope deity weaves
The.mantles that our pide would don,
While busy-6ngered Care uBreaves d. .s
The garments as we put them on. 4.
We rear our palaces of joy,
And tread them with exulting shout,
Till, crumbIing rouud, It's plainly found
H Some corner-stones have been left out.
And thus we play the game of Life.
Shadow and substance ever blending
Mid flowers of Peace and tares Of Strife
Gaily beginning sadly ending.
The maiden greets her swain to-day,
They jar tomorrow, and she houts him
Now she believes whate'er he'll say,
A month has gone-alas she doubts him,
The lover hangs upon glance,
With glowing trust and earnest sueing
Next year be rouses from his trance,
Aud scorns The one be late was wooing
And thus we play the game of Life.
Oar dreams dispeed our plans defeated,
And when we've lost with pain and cost
Still stand as ready to be cheated.
The cooling infants rosy mouth
APPLY receives the sweetened potion
When waves are calm and winds are south
None see the death rocks In the ocean.
The rich man tolls to "gather up,
Meaning TO bask in fortunes clover,
And while he pours into his cup
Perceives not it is running over.
And thus we pluy the game of Life,
Now simply shared, now wisely brooding,
Now bribed by smiles, now spreading wes,
Living deluded aud deluding
The poet prattes to the stars,
Philosophers dissect the thunder,
But both are stopped by crystal bars,
And stand outside to watch and wonder.
We mOralize on battle plains,
Where blood has poured and fame was won
We turn and see the baby's glee
Over his mimic sword and gun.
And thus we play the game of Life
'rwxt holy Thought and fearful deed.
Some only stay to work and pray
And some but live Crime aud Greed.
Our feet of clay trip up each other,
Our wings of ether seek the sky
We hreathe-we are-child follows mother,
Yet none can tell us Howl or Why 2
Our hearts, like clocks, keep ticking fast,
We climb aud laugh we fall aud weep,
Till tired Of guessing, at the last
We solve the riddle in a sleep.
And thus we play the game of Life, -.
Iu motley garbs of Grief aud Pleasue,
Till we are drest in that green vest
For which the sexton takes our measure.
