Oh, YE FACES.

Bright with hope, and love, and laughter,
Dark with passions OF despairl
Oh, the story Of the faces;
Angel faces, demon faces,
Faces, faces everywhere.
Obi the beauty Of the faces,
Sunny locks and fairy graces,
Little wandering CLEANS Of heaven
Lost among the ways o men.
OH the brightness OF the faces,
Maiden faces, childish faces,
Beauty In all forms and phases,
Sojourner and denizen.
Oil the pathos Of the faces,
Blighted hopes and dark disgraces,
When the angel robe Is spotted, and the
White soul stained with sin;
Oil the story o. the faces
Women faces youthful faces
All the harp-chords strained and broken
Ere the anthem could begin.
Oil the pallor OF the faces,
Flying from the cold death places;
Seeking, In the shouting highways,
Respite from the hell within.
Oh! the sadness ~ the faces,
Mother faces, widow faces,
Haggard with the toll and watching,
BY the night lamp, pale and thin.
Oil the horror Of the faces,
Scowlings, frowns, and dark menaces,
Sodden with a thousand vices,
Hideous with the brand OF Cain.
OH the terror OF the faces,
Felon faces, traitor faces,
Plague spots on the fair creation,
Nightmares OF fevered brain.
Faces, faces
CrowdIng city streets and places
Faces smooth with youth and beauty,
Faces lined with age and care.
