Margaret T.. SdnSStcr IN harper
IT'S wcarsome world this world OF ours,
With it's tangles small and great.
It's weeds that smother the sprnglng flowers,
And its hapless strifes with fate;
But the darkest day Of its desolate days
Sees the help that cores too late
All, for the word that is never said
TIL the ear is deaf to hear ,,,,,,na, nad
OF the ringing shout of cheer;
All for the laggard feet that tread
In the mournful wake OF the pier
What booteth help when the heart is numb?
What booteth broken spar
OF love thrown out when the lips dumb.
And lifes barque drifteth far
OH far and fast from the alien past.
over the moaning bar?
pitiful thing the gift to-day
That is dross and nothing worth,
Though If IL had come but yesterday
II had bri,nmed with sweet the earth.
fading rose In death-cold hand
That persisted in want and dearth.
Who fam would help in this world Of ours
Where sorrowful steps must fall
Bring help IN time to The waning powers
Ere the bier is spread with the pail ,rr,.,
And the dead beyond your call.
For battling most in this dreary world,
with its tangles small and great.
Its lonesome nights and it's weary days,
And it's struggles foriorn win tste
Is that bitterest grief. too deep Tor tears
OF the hep that comes too late
