More than thirds of our sick folks are

As its name indicates the Chicago, Mil

A Jolly wizard.


Oh. @ wizard dwelt in cave by the sea-
And dreamer of dreams was he;
The wild waves roar as they broke on the
shore
Gave him inirth and iollity;
For he'd people the rocks and the sounding
deep
With phantasies weird as the products OF
sleep.
Oh he dreamed of a maiden fair as STAR
Who came Ger the rolling sea
On the snowy crest of the pillows breast;
With airy head walked shei
And her face was as white as the driven snow,
And her voice was like music sad and low,
Ohl she sang OF love, and Of lovers PAIN
And she sang of a dream = sweet
That had urged her soul to desperate goal
For the sake OF wild heart beat.
For the lover she loved in her fondest dream
Was false as the glitter OF brook and stream.
Oh! the wizard dwelt in cave by the sea-
And dreamer OF dreams was he;
Through phantasies sad and phantasies GLAD
He kept his jollity;
For dream is dream, and not life, quoth
he,
But love which is life ne'er dream can be ]"
