DOy.
BY MARY B. DODGE.

Sweet things by bitter so closely chased,
Smiles droop so soon to whitening trouble we'd,
The softest skies with gloom so quick are spread
And over life death stalking makes such haste,
We wonder if enjoyment be not waste
of priceless pearls of time, or rubies red
OF vital power, bestowed OF God instead
For soberer uses. But, Q love, the taste
OF just memored kiss can turn the tide
OF such reflection while flow in to chide
Warm seas of rarest perfume at my feet;
And then l recognize, however small,
joys precious seed; it yet may bloom DER all,
And food the bitterest wilds with heavens sweet
