Manhood.
Not till life's heat has cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to quiet pace,
And every purblind passion that had ruled
OGr noisier years ut last
Spurs us in vain and weary OF the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
Ahl nottill all the best of life seems past
The best of life begins
To toll for only fame,
Hand clappings and the tickle gusts OF praise
For place or power or gold to gild name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our days.
We on whose ears youths passing bell has
tolled
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old
But the world widens when
Such hope OF trivial gain that ruled us lies
Broken among our childhoods toys, for then
We win to self control
And mail ourselves in manhood and there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS height
Those clearer thoughts tnat are unto the sopi
What stars are to the night

The clust ring curls DER eyes Of brown
Are bright as summer starlight's sheen.
She sways scepter DER US all,
And we obey each proud command:
For we are held In saverys thrall
BY that imperial, dimpled hand.
Her robes OF state are pure as snow,
In every heart she finds throne;
In all the land she has no foe.
The name of rebel is unknown.
Her loyal subjects, low and high,
Full many costly tribute bring:
The glories of her kingdom, 1,
Her humble poet-laureate, sing.
Around my neck her soft arms twine,
My song is smothered In her curls;
Her sweet, fresh lips are pressed to mine;
Oh, baby-little queen Of girlsl

Give the living the flowers Of lovo.
Let their perfume ill the air.
And their sweetness and beauty cheer
Hearts that are burdencd with care
Give the living the flowers of love,
Nor wait till the journeys DER,
Whom the hungry heart and patient lips
Are still for evermore.
Give the living the flowers OF lovo,
Let each day hold in store
Some memory of kindness done
To those who go before.
Give the living the flowers of love,
Oil bitter the tears that fall
For thoughtless acts and cruel words.

At Evening Time.

AT evening time let there be light;
Life's little day draws near its close;
Around me fall the shades OF night,
The night of death, the graves repose,
To crown my joys, to end my woes;
AT evening time let there be light
At evening tlmc let there be light;
Stormy and dark has been my day,
Yet rose the morn divinely bright;
Dews, birds and blossoms cheered tho way.
Oh, for one sweet, one parting rayi
At evening time let there be light.
At evening time there shall be light
For God hath spoken, it must be;
Fear. doubt and anguish take their flight,
His glory now is risen on me;
Mine eyes shall His salvation see.
>Tis evening time, and there is lightl
