LIFE.

Life Ks too brief
Between the budding and the falling
leaf,
Between the budding and the falling
sheaf,
For hate and spite,
We have no time for malice and for
greed;
Therefore, with love make beautiful
the deed;
Fast speeds the night.
Life is too swift
Between the blossom and the white
SHOWS drift,
Between the silence and the lark's
uplift,
For bitter words.
In kindness and in gentleness our
speech
Must carry messages of hope, and
reach
The sweetest chords
Life Is too great
Between the infants and the mans
estate,
Between the clashing of earth's strife
and fate
For petty things.
Lo! we shall yet who creep with cum
bered feet,
Walk glorious over heavens golden
street,
Or soar on wings.
