THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW.

Written for The Washington HeraId)
Death is another life-that of peace.
A lonely road. then sweet release;
A shadow and a sudden gloom,
A soul asleep. a darkened room.
The dead are only so in name
Unseen, unheard, yet still the same.
They come so near. then gently fade
When their sweet ghostly part is played.
Sometimes they come, with laugh and
shout,
And drive all hurts and sorrows out;
Sometimes they take US by surprise
And wipe the tears from aching eyes.
Sometimes we feel that they have be n

Death reach out and take us, too.
No pulsing of the heart. no breath.
And this is all there is OF death
And life? A hope. dream, prayer,
A weary beating of the air.
And so. alone, ] wait for him
