Rest.

Rest? There fs no such thing u
A coward's baseless dream.
Time Is q rushing flood,
And thou art In the stream.
Rest ? Up and be man;
Look out upon the night,
No star stands still In heaven,
In all thy aching sight.
Rest? Chafe no more in vain;
On. lest thy peers go by,
Thou wouidst not II thou couldst
Evade thy destiny.
Cui bono? Faithless words
II Is enough for thee
To know that toll expands
Thy weak capacity.
u
No! onward, ever on;
Times earnest moments roll;
Leave rest to sickly dreams,
Cui bono? to the fool.
