At Best.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.
The faithful helm commands the keel,
From port to port fair breezes blow;
But the ship must sail the convex sea,
Nor may she straighter go.
So, man to man; in tair accord,
On thought and will, the winds may wait;
But the world will bend the passing word,
Though its shortest course besstraight
From soul to soul the shortest line
At best will Bonded be;
The ship that holds the straghtest course,
Still sails the convex sea.
