3Qlortester daily SPY,



When God built up the dome of blue,
And portioned earth's prolific floor,
The measure of his wisdom drew
line between the rich and poor;
And till that vault Of glory fall,
Or beauteous earth be Scared with flame,
Or saving love be all in ALL
That rule of life will rest the same.
we know not why, we know not how,
Mankind are framed for veal or woe
But to the Eternal law we bow;
II such things are, they must be so.
Yet, let no cloudy dreams destroy
One truth outshining bright and clear,
That wealth abides in hope and joy,
And poverty in pain and fear.
Behold our children as they play!
Blest creatures, freh from natures hand
The peasant boy as great and gay
As the young heir to gold and land;
Their various toys OF equal worth,
Their little needs of equal care,
And halls of marble, huts of earth,
All homes alike sndeared and lair.
They knew no better.-would that we
Could keep our knowledge safe from worse;
Sopower should find and leave us free,
SO Pride be but the owners curse;
So, without MAJ king which was which,
What paupers are the ambitious rich!
How wealthy the cOntented poor!
Grant us, o God! but health and heart,
And strength TO keep desire ut bay,
And ours must be the better part,
Whatever else besets our way.
Each day may bring sufficient i'll;
But we can meet and fight it through,
IL hope sustains the hand OF will,
And conscience is our captain too.
