FACES

In the eye that lights TO meet and the face that
smiles to greet
Are the shadow OF the future and the impress OF
the past.
And the cheek that in its dawnlng flushed rosy
the morning
Shows the outline OF its beauty as II fades away
at last.
And the little children's faces-mid their dmples
the traces
or the maiden's glowing beauty and Of man
hoods brow Of care.
And the prophecy OF gladness and the shadow OF
the sadness,
To the thoughtful eye that eazeth they Turk
ing ever there.
But the faces that are nearest and the faces that
dearest
Are the true the tender faces that our trust and
loving win.
Then when comes 10 them the shading when the
roses shall be fading
Like the vase with light illunned shall We see
the soul within.
