For quenching the vital spark
The bullet that kills In the light,
And the dirk that stabs in the dark.
The bludgeon with treacherous blows.
The potion with stealthy tread,
And weapons both brutal and soft
For turning the quick into dead.

That's fretting out lives with shame
Comes hidden with rosiest tint,
In guise OF an Innocent name.
Its victims are pacing the floors
OF lodgings and palace alike;
In hours that lead to the dawn,
While the clocks continue to strike.
From the hand Of friendship It smites
With sure and merciless shock
Stiletto is never moro keen
| Than the pointer" on a stock.
