heard by those assembled. At the pre-

LIFE is WHAT YOU MAKE n

Life is d song" cries the singer,
"One beautiful, grand, sweet sang;
With never a tone of discord
And never a thought of wrongs
Nay life is a poem sweet
Says the poet with face serene,
an which we glide on the ocean
OF life like a beautiful dream"
But. a frowning warrior answers
Life? 'Tis a battle fierce,
With clash of arms, and the clangor
And fiery darts that pierce
All: singer, poet, warrior,
My heart tells me you are wrong;
For life is what you make it
Be it battle, poem or song.
