X UPON THE SAND *
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

LII love that has not friendship for its base
"A Is like mansion built upon the sand
Though brave its walls any in the land
And its tall turrets lift their heads in grace;
Though skful and accomplished artists trace
Most beautiful designs on every hand,
And cleaning statues in dim inches stand
And fountains play in some fowr-hidden place.
Yet when from the frowning east sudden gust
OF adverse fate is blown, or sad rains fall
Day in, day out, against its yielding wall,
Lo! the fair structure crumbles to dust
Love, to endure lifes sorrow and earth's woe
Needs friendships solid masonwork below
