Ghost Of the Past your clammy hand
Beckons, b. eckons on.
You've led me many pretty chase
For phantom goal In "a fruitless race;
No longer may you set my pace,
Though you beckon. beckon on.
Ghost of the Future, you allure
To an equal phantom goal.
Your promises. perhaps well-meant
Breed endless present discomfort.
Hours with You are hours il-spent
You'll not my name enroll.
Ghost of the Present? You're no Ghost,
No hollow, mocking lie.
You promise nothing, nothing give,
Except the right 10 work and live.
What though that life DO tentative
With you I'll live or die.
The first recital OF the Narragansett
Choral society will be held next Thurs-
