WHY MOTT

Our memories are shadow views
On which the fancy plays
IT'S fancy gives that tender charm
To long departed days.
Like modern finishers, who work
Upon the pictured flce,
1t fills out dim, uncertain lines
With its own curves of grace.
1t softens what IS harsh and hard;
II shadows what Is bold.
It wipes out times defacing marks
Each telltale frown and fold.
Then lightens up the doetored scene
With its dim, mystic rays.
And We, enraptured, gaze and cry,
20 dear departed days."
Now fancy is servant that,
Though maynard, may he led.
Let bid it leave the past and work
On passing days instead
1t can make present ills seem light,
The present joys enhance,
And prose Is turned to poesy
Where its soft colors glance.
All things are good, all things are had
When thus they seem to be,
And life Is this or life is that,
just as we think or see.
