Shall the neglected Harp deplore The discord of her tarnished strings, Or Love to gracious Beauty pour Llbations from polluted springs? Still for our need the Mornings glow And listening Evenings sunset bars, And summers bloom and winters
 snow,
 And nightly congress of the stars. And still the heart repines, and signs Its diapason of despair; Still from a thousand temples rise The myriad voices of its prayer Stil pants the soul of man to guess The riddle each must solve alone; F'rmo nothingness to nothingness
 He walks unknowng and unkown- A shadow on the dial cast.
 To vanish when the day is done, A spectral shape that stalketh past The circle of the setting sun. Be these thy themes, reviving Art. And these, awakening bard, be
 thine; ! Our grossness. greedy of the mart,
 Let Beauty purge and Song refine An pilgrim of that earlier day.
 Whose headstone bears the graven
 line.
 Would that my doubting heart could
 say Thy faith and hope in truth were ] mine. i And yet for me the breezes blow, The seasons bring the snows and
 flowers;
 Like thee. I walk the earth and go
 To sleep beneath the stars and i showers. i While by thy grave l finger near
 still musing on the by-gone days Within the church l seem to hear
 The voice of prayer and psalm of
 praise.
 Methinks with thee I wander far
 In quiet of the eventide, i And greet with thee the rising star.
 And hear thy footballs at my side 1 l feel great Natures touch. and To.
 My doubtings and my fears depart; My quickening pulses catch the glow
 And fervor of her mighty heart.

 Thou vast not made an hour-glass

 meet?
 What human art interpret half the

 thy feet?
 Rejoice, rejoice. through worlds on

 She calleth from the suns that cycle
 OCT thee. She whispers in the murmur of the tide.

 And yearning earth, in time and

 Till Truth, at last, dispel the dark

MAYOR AND POET
Hon. W. F. Henney of Hartford Sings the Anxieties of Mod

HIGHER IDEALS INVOKED
Professional Politics Deplored as Con- stituting Very SOrdid
 Business.

The following poem written for The Connecticut Magazine by Mayor w F.. Henney of Hartford, is remarkable in this respect, that it is the first serious , and comprehensive consideration of the modern tendency of life expressed in poesy. In it he deals with many of the problems of the present day, deplor- Ing professional politics on radical business and appealing to higher nor als and higher ideals in life. It is not too much to say, in its behalf that it is probably the most remarkable contri- button ever made to current political thought by an actor in the political drama of the hour. Mayor Henney may now be said to have inherited former Governor Henry B. Harrlson's title of "The Scholar in Connecticut politipc i
