DUTY.
Often in the morning when leave my lit
tie bed,
Summoned forth where toll and trouble
bind,
Rose-hued thoughts of idleness go fitting
through my head
Which were better far If left behind.
Thus fall to longing for a sunny bung-
allow,
Situate upon a southern isle,
Where the perfumed breezes would unend-
Ing sweetly blow
And the heavens always wear a smile.
Where a sea of dancing waves would lap
the golden strand
Murmuring along a happy shore.
Where the heartaehe and the pain I
can not understand
They would come to vex me never more.
And the days would Tilt along as bliss
full as a dream
Wherein all our wishes have come true
Song of bird in scented grove and music
of a stream

Never any shadow on the current of a
life

Free from work and worry and world
of bitter strife
Where the tide of fortune Gibbs and
flows.

thoughts behind
Sunny Isles and blooms and skies Of

Though the clouds may lower and the
fates be still unkind.
