| An Aftermath.
Think you-when the old clock
| From the tower
| Has struck the noontide hour,
| And the shadows flock
| Across the sunlights ray
When tho breezes blow
| From where the hedges grow,
| VIII perfume sweet,
| Come not to greet
! The closing day7
Shall the roses blush
In the quiet hush
| OF night e'er wane,
And the pale face OF the lily
On the glade
| Smile not agalnf
| The echo OF Times tread
Shall we then hear,
| To fall among the living,
Or about the dead
Leaves sere?
Let us arise-awaken TO tho symbol
Lest the robe Of youth
FAN with the shadows OF the day
And the garment of lhe's truth,
A beggar pick as rags
Along the way.
