Nothing could see;
But as the High God liveth,
One came from Him to me.
She came with touch and od'or
Of summer breath;
Came us shall come the other
The second angel, Death.
Swiftly my soul unfolded.
Flashed. and reached awide;
1t drank the pouring glory
OF heavens summertide.
reckon not the seasons,
The years that fall and flow;
Life filled her cup and spilled it,
That hour long, long ago.
Since, none has met me seeking
Up and down the ways;
Love comes no more forever
In all the coming days;
And. surely. he shall find me,
Whether | rest or roam,
The other-kindly angel =
Come to take me home.

what they called the pestilence. Black
DEATH was the most terrible thing in

deaths than any of these. 1t is so com

is merely that simple, common thing
constipation. 1t makes people listless,
