WHEN LIFE IS AwEARY.

Dedicated to A. o. $.

When earth is replete with sorrow,
And stars and suns have set,
When life is aweary, aweary,
The past will rise with regret;
The past, with It's golden promise,
With tw light feeling will steal
Across the cold worlds shadows,
Athwart life's barren field
Existence Is but blank book
And each glowing leaf is traced
With visions, and trials, aud crosses,
Times touch has never effacea-
But in cleaning sheaves from the future
mirage will rise to our view,
When life 10 aweaiy, aweary,
OF those who were tender and true.
When brightest hopes are wrecked
And loving hearts arc still,
When the boat, tost afar,
Is rocked by mighty will;
The past will rise with its brightness,
Its icOns of love and i1y,
When life is aweary, aweary,
With visions that never cloy.
