Even This Shall Pass Away. |"
THE KINGS 5 RING.

sa 81 a----
, Once in Persia reigned king,
: Who upon his signet ring
Graved maxim true and wise,
Which, if held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel, alta glance,
Fit for every change and chance;
Solemn words, and these are they;
Gwen this shall pass away J"
Trains of camels through the sand
= Brought him gems from Sanacrand;
Fleets Of ealleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with these
But he counted not as gain Fs
Treasures Of the mine or main, Hsld
"What is wealth?'' the king would say,
q 'sEven this shall pass away"
In the revels of his court, sie eef
At the zenith of his sport, s1' =
when the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine, asA1 n
Cried, 80, loving friends Of minel aa
:, Pleasure comes but not to stay;
Even this shall pass away" Az
Lady sfairest ever seen rFtN ~
Chosen for bis bride and queen;
Couched upon marriage bed,
whispering to his soul, he said:
ssTbough a bridegroom never pressed
Dearer bosom to his breast,
Mortal flesh shall come to clay;
Even this shall pass away,
Fighting on a furious.6eld,
Once javelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers with a loud lament,
Bore him bleeding to his tent, q
Groaaiig from bis tortured side,
.sPain is hard to bear, be cried,
"But with patience, day BY day, 4s7 ie
Even this shall pass away =" its+
Towering 10 the public square,
Twenty cubits in the all,
Rose his statue carved in stone,
Then the king, disguised. unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,
Musing meekly, s'What is fame2
Fame is but slow decay e'is '8 !
l-Even this shall pass away
Struck with palsy, sore and old,
Waiting at the gates OF gold, aasia
Spake he with his dying breath; 81

';'aa:1 little maid. Farewell!
'ls,~ Snort locks snaTl grow long.
A-.,i tnv bright locks shall grow brown
AS inrrv in the sun;
Tny lips lnavr Off from song. VS.
Summer wind be autumn rain,
And we not meet again.
Yet whey, the summer shines,
And when the fields are sweet
When DER the stunted pines,
The leafy arches meet,
Or whether skies be fair,
Or sudden storms be swelling,
Journey the green land through,
And seek my fathers dwelling.
This token shall be thine,
And this shall be thy sign;
Where river finds the seas,
Higher than the lifted trees,
Full fifty chimneys rise,
Twice an hundred windows shine.
Glimmering with their flaming eyes,
Redly on the western sun.
Child, whe n You stand before,
That ancient sombre door,
{Be it soon or late),
Cry thou within the court,
Beat thou upon the gate,
Till, answering to thy cries,
The guests leave off from sport,
The thralls from tolls give DER, hf
From sleep the slofhs arise,
Then forward fearless at their call.
And enter thou that lordly hall.
Nor fear if thou find there,
Obscure the light OF day,
While into deeper dark,
The wide stair winds away,
Nor If on time-worn wall,
OF that ancestral hall.
Dim shineth forth the speap and shield.
Rust with the blood OF battle field.
Sound Of n.audlin shall cease.
They shall check their song who sing,
In the dance clasped hands fnlink,
At the tidings thou shalt bring;
One shall hide a laughing face,
In his robe, and whisper Peace,
And one shall turn to weep,
Mourning in lonesome place;
But who so asks of thee a sign,
Give answer i'll these words of mine:
Out of his fathers house,
The heir hath gone away,
And in his wanted place
Sons OF the strangers stay;
Ay, he cometh ncvermore,

No soldier knight for him shall bring

No wedding-torch for him shall flame,
No fair boy keep alive his fame.
