THE WORLDS WOES.

This worlds an endless vale OF woe,
Where mar but wakes to sigh,
Contentment never yet was found
Below the arching sky.
The thin mar mourns because the flesh
Is thin upon his bones;
The lady with the double chin
Looks in her glass and groans.
The childless man would give his all
To have a little one;
The man with seven boys would be
O'erjoyed if he had none.
A down bestreaks the maiden's lip,
Therefore she mopes about;
The strong mans heart is sore because
His hair is falling out.
