LIFE's VOYAGE.

LIES VOYAGE.
On the brink of life's river q young spiri
knelt.
Eagerly scanning the waters below;
The smile OF the surface alone he felt.
The depth Of the current he could not know
Joyfuily he launched his shallow bark,
| To the mercy Of time abandoned his way;
But soon were the clouds piled high apd dark
And the winds began his boat 20 sway.
And now In the current, strong and smooth.
Grim rocks arose to check his course;
Not all Of sunshine his voyage proved.
The waves rosred round him, wild ant
hoarse.
Often he stroye to reach the bank.
To obtain his long lost youth again;
But deeper still in his heart hope sank,
Helpless he struggled with the main.
But at last his boat reached the boundless sea
And rest soon followed. toll and care;
At home and rest forever to be.
He resped the results of his labor there.
