HOPE AND EFFORT.

Hope is Of the valley; Effort stands
Upon the mountain top facing the sun;
Hope dreams Of dreams made true and great
deeds done;
Effort goes forth, with toiling feet and hands,
To attain the far of sky touched table lands
OF great desire; and, till the end is won,
Looks not below where the long strife, begun
In pleasant fields, met torrents, rocks and sands.
Hope: but when Hope bids look within her glass
And shows the wOndrous things which may befaI,
Wait not for destiny. wait not at all;
This leads failures dark and dim morass;

Adown whose path is set
A tiny gate that opens TO

Beneath a dreamset sky,
And down the little winding way
Walk Memory and l.
