Our Faces.

Not ALWAYS do our faces bear
A faithful record of the wear
OF Time upon the inner life
The ceaSeless and the drearv strife
OF passions that within us roll
The secret struggle of the soul
May frequently impart
Their history to the human face,
But Oh how oft they leave no trace
How oft there cometh to all men
The hour Of gloom and sorrow, when
The placid brow does not express
The sense Of utter loneliness
That rests upon the heart
When cherished visions fade away.
Or those who loved us once betray,
Or when the earth is laid above
The still, cold form of one we love.
our faces for a while reveal
The bitter Woe we inlv feel;
But later on the seal
Of pride Is sci upon our grief.
That may not thencetorth find relief
In outward seeming, but must dwell
Within the heart most secret cell
That careless eyes may not behold
The depth of misery untold
And agony we feel
Is it because we idly fear
The heartless cynic's covert sheer
That thus we veil our better part
In the still chambers of the heart
Or is it that we hold our woe
Too sacred for the world to know.
And only for the eve
OF Him who reads all hearts to see
| know not vet it seems to me
he world were better could it know
That verdure bloomed beneath the snoy
Could it but rend the icy veil.
And see that, though the surface fail.

Have you ever caught the secret
Which the leaves forever sing,
Through each balmy day of summer.
When the birds are on the wing
Have You listened to their language,
And their laughter. soft and sweet?
have you watched their shining chances
Through the nOontide's glowing heat
Oh ! they make such merry music,
GaIly dancing III the breeze,
Every tiny leaf atrcmblc
On the solemn old oak trees,
That You know some happy secret
Must have stirred each winsome elf
To those bursts of fairy laughter,
And you fairly laugh yourself.
Up and down they dance and culver.
Back and forth they sing in glec,
VI bile the whistling winds still louder
Pipe their merry minstrelsv
All along the woodland borders.
Past the reapers and their sheaves.
Still the ripping music greets YOU,
OF the laughter of the leaves.
All, It's sure some lovers secret
Which they whisper day by day;
Never ceasing, never firing
Of the old and happy lay.

Merry hearts where love is king
Every summer brings new lovers
Every year fresh leaves to sing
