AN IDOL OF CLAY.

What did she give for her wedding ring
All that woman may!
What did the gifts to the giver bringi
Only an idol of clay.
All the sweet dreams Of her gil lhood years.
AL that heart could hold,
All of her hopes and all Of her fears,
All Of her smiles and all Of her tears,
For one little circle OF gold.
Told she the world Of the bitter cheati
All, no! With a smiling face
she clothed her idol from head to feet
With the garments Of her grace.
And no one knew of the tears she wept;
Her griefs they were never guessed,
For hid in her heart of hearts she kept
Her thorns of woe. And so she slept
With her hands across her breast =,
