CITY NOTES.
THE EGGS THAT NEVER HATCH.

O-aaN IS iOSI. he > WGltlD5
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder,
With worn and weary face,
With searching anxious features.
And weak, uncertain pace.
He is living in the future,
With no desire to catch
The golden Now. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's q world of men and women,
With their life's work yet undone,
Who are sitting, standing, moving
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future,
But not content to snatch
The Present. They are waiting
For The eggs that will never hatch.
