Life Is indeed no holiday: therein
Are want and woe and sin.
Death and It's nameless fears. and over all
Our plying tears must fall.
Thy hand old friend. the service Of our days
I In differing moods and ways.
May prove to those who follow IN our train
Not valueless or vain
Far off and faint as echoes Of dream.
The songs Of childhood seem,
Yet on our autumn boughs uniown with
The evening thrusnes sing.
The hours draw near hover delayed and
When at the Eternal gate
We leave the words and work We call our own
And lift VOID hands alone
For love to fill, our nakedness Of soul
Brings to that gate no toll.
Giftless we come TO him. VINO all things gives
And live because ne lives.

The new road at the hill this side of
