WOMAN and
SOCIETY.

To guide thy spirit safely to an isle
of rest.
A littl rocking on the tranquil deep
OF song to soothe thy yearning.
A little slumber and a little sleep,
And SO forget, forget!
Forget forget!
The day was long in pleasure:
Its echoes die away across the hills,
Now let thy heart beat time to their
slow measure,
That swells, and sinks, and faints,
and falls till all is still.
Then, like a weary child that loves to
keep
Locked in its arms some treasure.
My soul in calm content shall fall
asleep,
And so forget. forget
Forget forget
And If thou hast been weeping
Let go the thoughts that bind thee
to thy grief;
Lie still and watch the singing angels,
reaping
The golden harvest of thy sorrow,
sheaf by sheaf;
Or count thy joys like fiocks of snow
white sheep
That one by one come creeping
Into the quiet fold, until thou sleep,
And so forget. forget!
Henry Van Dyke.
