LIFE'S ERRORG.

From tho Forget Me Not, for 1874.
What il. In that sublimer state
TO which our souls shall once attain,
The things Of Earth, ana Time. and Fate
Shall pass before ot,r eyes sgsin.
O Shall we review our life's slesv wsy,
1ts wants and WEAKNESS beholding;
And by Heavens purer noon survey
What Earth's dim twilight now ID
foldiDg2
., what wondrous change will pass
Ger all that here hath seemed or boon
Darkiy We sees - through glass,
What then shall face to face no seen;
The notbingness Of oil we priced,
The falsohood Of the love we sought.
The priceless truth Of hearts despised,
The worth Of all we valued not;
Perchance, it shall not then be seen
That this, our earthly path Of tears,
So dosOlate q waste hath been
AZ to the mOurner's eye appears.
When clearer light around ms breaks,
Our eyes shall read their course below,
dreary life Of long Mistakes.
Atoned by many needless wo.
Our youth was passed in visions fair,
In laviAhing the wealth Of heart
Vur mAnnOOu hn0 the harder care
OF watching all those dreams depart.
What was there left for sad old age,
Except in useless grief to rue
The errors Of pilgrimage
We could not, if we would renew!
Yet in ourselves the evil lay,
Poor, weak artlfcers of wo!
Our Idols al were made Of clay,
Bnt twas our hand that framed them no.
We needed some diviner'call,
To teach our hearts alike to shun
The lovely Isult Of trusting au,
The bitter sin Of trusting none.
Turn we then WITH vain disgust o
From love betrayed and faith deceived,
Nor let our hearts forget to trust,
When they are wounded, wrung, and
grieved.
Take home this losson-it issuch
As turns Lies darkness into light;
o! VIC can never love too mach, @
II VIC will only love Alright!
