THE WATERFALL.


Listen to the water-mill
Through the livelong day
How the clinking Of the wheel
Wears the weary hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the withered leaves;
On the field the respers sing,
Binding up the sheaves;
And proverb haunts my mind,
And As spell is cast:
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past"
Summer winds revive no more
Leaves etrewn over earth and main.
And the sickle ne'er can reap
The gathered grain again
And the ripping stream flows Oh,
Tranquil, deep and still--
Never gliding back again
to the water-mili.
Truly speaks the proverb old,
With meaning vast:
"The mill will never grind
With the water that Is past"
o the wasted hours Of life
That have swiftly drifted BY
o the good We might have done
Gone lost without sighl
Love that We might once have saved
BY single kindly wsrd!
Thoughts conceived, but ne'er expressed,
Perishing, unpenned, unheard
Take the proveib to thy soul
Take, and clasp 1t fast:
"The mill will never grind
With the water that 10 past!"
O love thy God, and fellow man,
Thysef consider last,
For come it viii, when thou must scan
Dark errors Of the past. s.s
And when the fight Of life il DER,
And earth recedes from view
And heaven in all its glory shines,
Midst the pure, the good, the true
Then you'll see more clearly
Thelproverb, deep and vast:
"The mill will never grind
With the water that is past"
Take the lesson to thyself,
Loving heart and true;
Golden years are Aeeting by;
Youth is passing, too.
Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day;
Time will ne'er return sweet joys
Neglected. throw away. ugtl
Leave no tender word unsaid,
But love while love shall last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past"
Work while yet the sun doth shine,
Man Of strength and will;
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wsit not till to-morrow's sun
Beams brightly on thy way.
AL that thou canst call thine own
Lies in the phrase "to-day."
Power. intellect and blooming health
May not, will not always last
