POETRY
THE GREAT HEREAFTER.

Ills sweet to think. when struggling
The goal of life to win,
That just beyond the shores of time
The better years begin.
When through the nameless ages
| cast my longing eyes,
Before me, like boundlesS sea,
The Great Hereafter lies.
Along its trimming bosom
Perpetual summer smiles,
And gathers like golden robe
Around the emerald isles.
There, in the blue, long distance,
Bv lullinG breeZes famed,
| seem to see the Towering groves
Of the old Beulah Land.
And far beyond the islands
That gem the waves serene
The image Of the CloudlesS shore
OF holy heaven is seen.
Unto the Great Hereafter
Aforetime dim and dark
| freely now and gladly give
OF life the wand ring bark.
And in the far. off haven,
when ShadOwy seas are passed,
BY angel hand its Quiyering sales
Shall all be furled at last.
