HOW WEARY IS OUR HEARr !

OF kings and courts. OF kingly, oourtly ways
In which the life OF nun ia bought and sold,
How weary Is our hoart these many dnysi
or ceremonious embassies that hold,
Parley with hell in fine and silken phrase,
How weary is our heart these, many daysi
or wavering oounselors neither hot nor cold,
Whom from his mouth God speweth be, it told
How weary Is our heart these many daysi
Yea, for the ravsled night is round the lands,
And sick are we OF all the imperial story.
Tho tramp Of power ond its long trail Of pain i;
The mighty brows in meanest arts grown
hoary;
Tho mighty hands
That In the doar, sffronted name Of peace
Bind down q people to be racked and slain;
The emulous armies, waxing without cease,
All puissant, all in win;
The pacts and leagues to murder by delays
And the dumb throngs that on the deaf thrones
gaze;
The common, loveloss lust Of territory,
Tho lips that only bnbble OF their mart,
While to tho night the shrieking hnmlets blaze
The bought allegiance and tho purohased
praise,
False honor and shameful glory
or all the evil whereof this is part
How weary Is our hearth
How weary is our henrt these many daysl
