The Old Sexton.

Nigh to grave that was newly made
Leaned a sexton old on his earth worn
spade.
His work was done. and he paused to
wait
The funeral train at the open gate.
A relic Of bygone days was he,
And his locks were gray as the foamy
sea,
And these words came from his lips so
thin:
II gather them In, gather them In.
Gather, gather l gather them in.
II gather them in; for man and boy,
Year after year of grief and JOY,
I've builded the houses that lie around
In every nook Of this burial ground.
Mother and daughter, father and son,
Come to my solitude one by one,
But come they stranger or come they kin
1 gather them In, 1 gather them In.
"Many are with me, yet I'm alone;
I'm king Of the dead. and l make my
throne
On monument slab Of marble cold;
My scepter of rule is the spade hold.
Come they from cottage or come they
from hall.
Mankind are my subjects. all, all, all!
May they loiter In pleasure or toilfully
spin,
I gather them in gather them In
II gather them in. and their final rest
Is here, down here, In the earth's dark
breast!"
And the sexton ceased as the funeral train
Wound mutely over that solemn plain.
And l said to myself, when time Is told,
A mightier voice than that sections old.
VIII be heard Ger the last trumps dread
full din
I gather them In, gather them in.
Gather gather. gather them in"

they arranged a number OF the prelimi-

things deciding on the summer Of 1905
as the time for holding the celebration.
