FINS.

We live for a while and then we die . And they lay us away to sleep, And the clouds still float in a summer sky And the stars their vigils keep. And the dreams we dreamed in a little
 world Are thrown to the winds for aye, When we lie at rest with our banners
 furled
 Meath the sod at the close of day. Then the grass grows green on forgotten
 graves
 And the tear-drops cease to fall, And we pass like the print that the ocean
 laves-
 Iris the common fate of all.
