Over hill and over valley,
How the siren Fame hath her treasurer trove
Where the fortune seekers rally;
But the true heart turns TO the waiting pillow,
To the well.loved commonplaces;
And he knows no joys like the smiles that

naturally feels under obligation to him. and

course Of q little social visit the other
