BOOK AND HEART.


For many year he grubbed among
The stalls where antique tones lie piled.
And then alone when, for song,
He bought some prize. he ever smiled.
Staring at titles, oft his eyes
Slanted aloft with eager looks,
As If he stood in paradise
Meath trees of knowledge hung with books
So long the reflex dull OF calf,
Morocco. vellum lit his face;
That it is leathern now by half,
And Times deep tooling we can trace.
Volumes grew human in his care,
While he their form and semblance took,
Till men stood on the shelving there
And in the armchair lolled book.
But books and men will fray and fade
As Cares rude finger turns the page,
Or in some sunless chamber laid
They warp and mildew into age.
The living leaves grow scar and wan,
The back knows many an ache and crook,
Till into limbo's flung the man
And to the grave is borne the book.
Who knows; yon pile Of ragged leaves
May, when some critic finds it there,
Be gathered up like golden sheaves
And CARRIED in beauty past compare.
Fen so, if aught of worth he find
Between its margins broad and white.
Some heavenly Grolier yet may bind
The bookmans soul in covers bright
