So great earths walls shall roundabout be
stormed
And fail in crumblng ruin and decay.
Fen now the powers OF life are broken down,
And Earth in her exhaustion scarce has strength
To bring the smallest creature into life
This Earth. who called to being every race,
And giant forms OF mighty beasts brought forth.
No golden cord methinks from Heaven above
Let down upon the land the race of men,
Nor did the sea nor did the waves that beat
Upon the rocky shore give them their birth.
The selisane Earth that bore them into life
From her own substance now still gives them
food.
The rich corn crops and vineyards bringing cheer,
Sh, made for mortals of her own sweet will;
She gave to them sweet fruits and pleasant fare,
Which now our labor scarce can make increase.
We waste the oxen and the farmers strength,
We wear away the plow and yet the fields
Scarce fill our wants, much they grudge their
fruits.
Such toll they ask from us to urge their
growth.
And now the plowman shakes his hoary head
And often signs for labor spent in vain.
When ne the present with the past compares,
1t makes him often praise his fathers lot,
And prsttle of the men OF long ago
How, Allied with reyernee and gratitude.
In narrow fields they could with ease support
Their life tho each had then smaller plot.
Disconsolate, the planter Of the shrunken vine,
Against the march of Time does oft inveigh,
And with complaints does weary Heavens ear,
Yet fails to see that all things, bit by bit
Are wasting, the pathway TO the grave
Worn out by long, long lapse of aging Time.

On Mabcps wish for Already.

You'd like to be shepherdess
Beside a Summer brook?
The sweetest rhyme could ne'er express
How charming you would look
In kirtle blue and ribbons fair,
Mid your devoted sheep,
I'm sure that you would never share
The fate Of poor 30 Peep.
All, If you were a shepherdess
We'd meet at dawn OF dayl
This blissful thought | must confess,
Quite takes ily breath away.
We'd gaily trip across the grass,
Unmindful OF the dew;
In faithful love I'd far surpass
The lamb that Mary knew.
Were you a little shepherdess,
We'd skip and tra-la-la
Until, for very joyousness,
The woolies echoed, "Ba-ai'
And then some sweet, secluded spot
We'd seek in merry mood,
And, by the selhsh world forget,
We'd feast on berry food.
Were you little shepherdess-
What happy faneies TEEN!
With difficulty | repress
Ny rapture at the dream.
With Mrs. Grundy out of sight,
And nature all in tune,
We'd fold our lambkins up at night
And WOO beneath the moon.
Oh. IL you were a shepherdess-
But have you weighed the price?
/ shudder at your wild distress,
Deprived of chocolate ice.
And how you'd miss your curling tongs!
Without a looking-glass,
In spite of all my pretty songs
You'd be wretehed lass.
All, il you were a shepherdess-
Imagination climbsi
On such theme l might digress,
And weave a thousand rhymes.
But you will never sport crook
To witch my raptured sight
Here comes your aunt with savage look
The ball is dOne-good- might!

"such undue freedom, SIR" 1 said,

But he looked deep into my eyes
And-simply kept my hand
Merely friend you are" | said.
And liberties like this
I never will permit" But he
He only took the kiss.
''Afy lover? Nonsense. sir!" / said
II never can love YOU"
But he-he took me in his arms,
And said, You do, you dol"
II cannot marry you," / said.
"And live with you for life
He simply said. You will. you will!'
And now | am his wife.

CURRENT VERSE.
The old Pewter Pitcher. .


iestoon for Bacchus no chaplet of roses.
l will vaunt not the vat-I've no homage for
wine:
Psnegyric of paint for cornwall noses
Shall never find place in a lyric Of mine.
Unseemly indeed we're such rank exhibition
of scorn for the statutes that seek to restrain,
By bencfcient mandate Of stern Prohibition,
The lust for the grape in the good State OF
Maine
So a truce to the bowl and its fervid excitement,
And down with the hagon, the goblet and steini
My lyric exaits the more balmy entieement
OF certain old humble companion OF mine.
With n zest
Springng out Of vague unrest
Stirring underneath my vest
I'm obsessed
BY a guest
Who has come for my behest
From the misty days of boyhood, borne serenely
in the
OF thu; friends that I'd forgotten in the cares
that grind the man.
You were just pewter pitcher. demure and
dull old pot
With yee-yaw to your nozzle like the grimaee
of sot.
The knob upon your cover had a truly rakish
cant,
Your paunch npopleaic and your handle had
slant
OF most convivial nature. But despite your
seedy style
Not n guest upon the threshold got more
benignant smile
Than when upon platter. aanked by apples
and by pears
You rose splashing full OF cider up the dark
old cellar stairs
I'm sure that the fruit that We sacrificed duly
Each fall to the cruel embrace of the press
Had quaffed Of the honey Of Nature and truly
Deserved from her hand a more tender cares
I'm sure that the sun kissed both fruit and the
flower
With all the devotion his warm heart could
bring,
Till Alcohol cedcd his ominous power
And gall lost its bitter. the adder its sting.
For though round and round went the old pewter
pitcher
And chuckingly filled for US horn after horn.
We never saw dragon, blue goblin, or witch, or
Required hoop for our heads in the MORN
Here goesl
Here's TO those
Who sat and warmed their toes
Drowning cares and frets and woes
No one knows
How memory glows
As / see that ancient nose
Cleaning blandly in the circle Of the friends OF
long ago
Within. the light; without the night and the
wind and drifting snow
Then the dented pewter pitcher poured for US
its amber stream
While the tinkling bubbles winked upon the brink
with dancing CLEAN,
All. there was no guile within you as there
gauds without
Just a plain. c.d-fashioned fellow, with an
awful homey snout;
And you never let US headaches and you didn't
stir the bile.
And no guest upon the threshold got more
benignant smile
Than when upon i platter, hanked by apples
and by peaf
You rose splashing full of cider up the dark
old cellar stairs
