THE DAYS OF NAN.

THE DAYS OF MAN.
10, man is born of woman,
His days on earth are few,
! He cometh as the flower,
And passeth as the dew.
| He fleeth as the shadow
That comes to pass away,
His months by Thee are numbered.
Thou hast set his final day.
Turn from him leave him resting,
That his mission may be done,
! That his pilgrimage be fruitful,
AS in hopefulness begun.
| Not as tree by woodman hewn,
Can he hope again to rise.
For Unborn life has left him,
His body wasting lies.
As the waters from the sea
! And the floods doth dry away,
| So lieth man. nor riseth.
Till the resurrection day.
MONNIE MOORE LATHAM.
To the memory Of my father.

| To the Eagle:
There kisses and kisses IN this world Of
The darkness Of night is changed into
morn.
The meadows have burst into bowers Of
bloom,
In the life-giving warmth Of the sun.
But then
The frost may come. in one nights sleep,
Weaving brilliant white winding sheet
For all who in his caress lay,
VIII droop and fade in the light of day.
| There are little ones along our way,
| Grown old IN life's morn before it's day.
We may tighten the burden and still the
sighs
| By love and kisses that will satisfy.
! But then
! Swayed by the hot breath Of passion
deep,
| Would purpose tremble and grow weak.
| Or in strength of purity retire
| From the kiss that scorches the soul like
fire.
| A kiss is only kiss you say,
Twill pass like the zephyr breath away?
Like a fake of snow upon the cheek,
A light advance and light retreat.
But then
Effect lies nesting within the cause.
AS sure as the flower the seeds enclose;
A world has cause to remember with
pain,
The kiss of Judas on the Savior lain.
MRS. J. E. BISHOP.
