Only blank and q void in life,
A sickening sense Of loss;
Only seeing the seeming gold,
Come from the fre a. dross,
Only the cry, "it might have been"
Only the question-"Whyy
Only the looking with tear blinded eyes
To the shores Of .tBy and by"
Ii that ALP
All is it ail7 Nay. nay. not all,
1t cannot half be said;
Only the angels can write the tale
Only BY God 10 it read
Yes every heart has felt the truth
Whose love ties have been riven:
The world il all false. there's nothing true;
Nothing bat God and heaven.
That is all.
E. J. II.
