IRREvOoABLE ACTs.--Yo Yonder lies one who
has gone to the silent shore he realizes now
that his acts are irrevocable-he feels what be-
fore he had fancied, that time cannot alter them.
Beside the bier there stands u weeping friend
and too late he finds that tears cannot eiface his
acts, that repentance cannot amend them. Too
late he finds that every act of harshness, every
bitter word, every sarcastic expression lives for
ever too late he learns that unseen wings have
borne his deeds beyond the flight Of love, and
that he can never recall them to his embrace
again.
