HeIp That Comes Too Late.

IT'S n wearisome world. this world OF ours
With its tangies small and great.
Its weeds that smother the spring how-
ers,
And its hapless strife with fate;
And the darkest day OF its desOlate days
Sees the help that comes too late.
All woe for the word that is never said
Til the ear is too deaf 10 hear
And woe for the lack 10 the faintlng
head
OF the ringing shout OF cheer:
All woe for the laggard feet that tread
In the mournfu wake of the bier.
What booteth help when the heart Is
mum?
What booteth a broken spar
OF love thrown out when the lips are
dumb
And lifes bark drifteth far,
Oh far and fast from the allen past,
over the moaning bar2
a pluful thing the gift to-day
That rs drOss and nothing worth.
Though II it had come but yesterday,
IL had brimmed with sweet the earth
A fading rose in n death-cOd hand.
That persisted in want and dearth
Who fain would help i'm this world or
ours.
Where sOrrowful steps must fall.
Bring help in time 20 the waning powers,
Ere the bier IS spread with the pail.
Nor send reserves when the flag Is
furled.
And the dead beyond your CALL
FOr battling most In this weary world,
With it's tangles small and great,
Its lonesome nights and its weary days,
And its struggles fOrlOrn with fate.
Is that btterest GRIEF. too deep FOR tears,
or that help that comes TOO late.
