MIDSU NM 4 K.

Midway within the year We rest,
our faces turned from sunrise seas.
Upon the isthmus OF to-day,
Between the two eternities
That which Is p st is but dream
with n the gates OF memory:
Forward We look with but a wish
For happiness We cannot see
Beyond the thunder-eIouds is seen,
The rain bow braided In the storm;
And THROUGH the rent in sorrows veil
The white-wtnged birds OF promise swarm.
From times gray watch-tower up the steep,
Tire bells ring out the years high noon;
While downward toward the farewell skies
Fall deepening shades OF afternoon.
