80 Good Times"

Twp happy words Ike iar-oE chimes

Half-hushed in distsuce q ough they seem,
Their peal calls back hope gone astray,
And sings Of help not far away
A daily trust, nightly dream.
Al when, ah how. shall Nc fuldlled
This deep desire. Of GCi instllled'
Mock not the yearninGs of our race,
The forethough; of some Anal good
whish tirst flashed INTO human mood
When sword flames hlan,hed the tlrst man $

For poet, warrior, sAin; aud king
Have served those chimes " Good Times that
ring,
In strength Of icei and song and prayer
And shall We say that. serpcat-hke,
Man ON himsai mus; mrn aud strike
The fanss q death. in last despair
Despairins that the earth should know
An ending u the rciSn o. wOeg
Nay, heaskeR San that song, GOOD
Times!
Through storm snd shine, nom seS 10 seA,
That music, SroUghi invisihly,
Floats stin, TO al All lands and clines
Like bells Of churches built for Christ
The meek. rejectel sacrificed.
The Promised and tbe PIomiser--
Iikc holy bells, this glad refrain
Shall greet the coming year again.
And set fond hearts with joy Astir.
Yet dream not that the goal is won,
A AthousAnd courses ropnd the sun
Have STEPPED the world in broader light;
But woe is me look back, look bach:
The fairpst seasons in our track
Are but dead leaves, and dim As night.
And 10 where echoiag spires arise
And HISS, today, the morning skies,
Tonight the shapes o. Wrons and shame
A quicks@ni sAoal o! faces-pAss
And ui,heg fgum tbs glars Of gas
Back 10 the vild hAgnts VhJnoe they came.
What though the wheels Of trade 80 round
And streets are allied with jocuni sound
The weather-vane Of work and play
And gusty grief can make no Law;
But one long since the plan foresAw
And fashioned bright or dark our day.
Al man. your ehnrcA-bell aud your praise
And sll your forunA,e-seelniRg ways

OF truth Of book and good Of gold
What worth unless your heart shall hold
