they not to be pleasant? Ought they not
to be restful to tired ewes and homelike

Mountains, but we have most of us some
sort of dooryard, large or small. We
have no room for trees, may be, but per.

Somc eyes sleep when same eyes wake,
Md so the drcary nigli.beurs go,

often wonder why tis 50.
SOME wills faint whore some wills fight,
Some love the tent. and some the field,
often wonder who arc right
The ones who strive, OF those who yield
Some hands fold where other hands,
Are lifted braNcly in the strife,
And so thro' age and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes oil lite.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tircless march, thorny way,
Some struggle on whcrs some have fed,
SOME seek when others shun the tray.
Some swords rust where others cltsh,
