THE PERPETUAL QUESTION.

G'rom the French of Du Bellay Q55o.)
II this one little life is but a day
In the eternal; if the years in vain
Toll after hours that never come again
IL everything that hath been must decay.
Why dreamest thou Of joys that pass
away,
My soul, that my sad body doth re-
strain?
Why Of the moments pleasure art thou
fain?
Nay, thou hast wings-nay, seek another
stay.
There is the joy whereto each soul as
pires;
And there the rest that all the world de-
sires,
And there is. love and peace and gra-
ciOuS ninth
And there in the most highest heavens
shalt thou
Behold the very beauty. whereof now
Thou worshipest the shadow upon earth.
