OH. WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT Or
MORTAL BE PROUDl


Oh. WHY should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like swift, feeting meteor, fsstAying cloud,
A fash of the lightning, a break OF the wave,
He passeth from life TO his rest in the grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willow shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the cid, and the low and the
Shall moulder TO dust, and together shall lie.
The infant and mother, attended and loved;
The mother that infants affection who proved;
The husband that mother and infant who blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwellings of Rest
The hand Of the king that the sceptre hath borne;
The brow Of the priest that the mtre hath worn
The eve of the sage and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths Of the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was 10 SOW and to reap
The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the
steep;
The beggar, who wandered in search Of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or the weed
That withers away TO let others succeed:
So the multitude comes, even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often beer told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have seen;
Wedrink the same stream and view the same sun,
And run the same course our fathers have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers would
think;
From the death weare shrinking our fathers would
shrink
To the life We are ciuging they also would cling
But itspeeds for US all, like bird on the wing.
They loved, bu. the story We cannot unfold;
They scorned, but the heart OF the haughty is cold;
They grieved but no wall from their slumber will
come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their glndness is
dumb.
They died, aye they died; we things chat are now,
That walk on the turfthat lies over their brow,
And make in their dwellings transient abode,
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimsge
road.
Yea hope and dependency, pleasure aad pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, the song and the dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge.
Tis the wink of an eye, tis the draught Of breath
From the blossom Ofhealh TO the paleness Of death
From the glded saloon 30 the bier and the :hrOud,
Oh, why should the spirit Of mortal be proud
