dcrObed by the eXecutoners and deprived of his

vertigo, from which he at once recovered growing
stronger as he ncared the scalfod at the foot of

HOURS.

Tripping lightly through the sunshine,
Creeping through the shadows gray,
Ever swiftly fitting, fitting,
Speed the golden hours away;
Laden they with joy or sorrow,
Pain or pleasure, smiles or tears,
All arc under sailing orders
Down the ebbing tide of years.
Hours are golden oensors, bearing
Incense offerings evermore,
Shining coils. undoing swiftly.
Till they reach the other shore.
Some among the links there may be
Rusted o'cr with bitter tears
Light and shade arc deftly woven
In the canopy Of years.
Sheen and shadow interminglc,
And the hours, 50 sweet and fair,
Change tnll oft to weary ages,
Through the weight of woe they bear.
Yet the cup Of cruel bitter
May be to us for healing given,
And our funeral lamps be watch fires
On the outer walls Of heaven.
Happy hours O. words can never
Half their depth of meaning give;
How their benedicion hrightcns
All the world in which we live
Golden hours, like shining hoadlands,
Jutting DER the tide of Time,
Rising DER the wrecks of sorrow,
Crowned with majesty sublime.
