LIFE AND SORROW.

1 said to Sorrow, "Thou and shall
part;
Hereafter l must seek the open way
Before the wine of life leaves dry my
heart,
That [ some destined eve to Death
may say,
The cup is drained, so welcome now
thou art:
Deep did l drink, and have had
my dayn"
Alone in her dark chamber Sorrow
wept
And went forth by field and fra
grant lane
And reached a wondrous garden,
Pleasure kept
In that fair land where never fell
the rain;
And gaily down to me this woman
slept
Between her roses, and laughed
again.
l was most happy in that land of flow
erS,
Only at times the old life 1 had
known
As in the night the sound of passing
showers
Some far and deep autumnal under
tone
Awoke and flashed across the lam
guild hours
Where I still watched, unhappily
alone.
Entombed among a thousand roses
there
I stood, walled round by towers
could not see;
But still the keeper of that garder
fair
Laughed at my fears and still with
held the key.
Then wept I for some little cross t
bear,
And Sorrow came by night and Sc
me free.
