When lightning ttrikss a stAlwart tree,
And every fibre sorely strains,
The vines that feasted riotously
Upon the sap within its veins
Their natures law at once obey,
Aud fall away.
The politician, meAner yet,
Thriyes on his leaders fall or hurt
Before the storm his lines are set,
And he prepares for eating dirt,
He seeks to make desertion pay,
And falls away.
None are too low, aud none too high,
TO stab and leave their falling friends,
Their boasted truth is made a lie,
Their plant homer gladly bends
They hasten to improve the day,
And fall away,
As nothing TO the sordid soul
Are weary years Of arduous toll;
His petty gains his acts control
His eager nostrils scent the spoil
In sunshine he must make his hay
He falls away.
