MY FOE.

Not from my foes without, but those within,
Ipray to be protected hour by hour;
For that aggressive self, that leads to sin.
And lures to pleasure with seductive
power,
Stands ever by the portal of desire,
And mocks my spirit when it would aspire,
From that most subtle foe, disguised as
friend,
need be ever on my guard. and when
/ cease for one brief moment to defend
The castle of my soul, he seeks me hen
In some unlooked-for-way with mein so fail
And voice so sweet, the while he sets his
snare.
With honeyed words and sophistries ana
lies,
He argues on the pleasure of the sense;
He pictures Duty in a hideous guise,
And laughs at Labor's paltry recompense
"Let billiards TOLL he cries "thine is the
right
To gather all life's blossoms of delight!"
Again, in mask of teacher he appears.
n cries, "Why seek to lit another's
Each soul that journeys down the vale of
tears
Must carry his own burden DER the road
Accept thine OWE, but let all others CO."
Despite his mask, l know him as my foe.
My base foe, self, which envious of the goal
1t annot reach, since formed of dying
clay,
Would hinder and oppose my striving soul
That longs ana labors for tho better way;
And with this foe my spirit must contend,
BY prayers and vigil. even to the end.
