HYMN OF CANCELLATION.

HYMN OF CANCELLATION.
Lord of the world, who didst beset
This maiden sister of the sea,
Lone Erin, mid Thy ocean set,
And born, like ocean, fiercely free
Who hast preserved her wondrous
chaste
And not less lovely for her woes
All, hast Thou wiIled that she should
OF all things save repose?
We cannot live for evermore
With nought but Nay" upon our
tongue,
And ever hear voice implore,
And ever yaunt a heart unwrung.
She cries aloud and viii not cease,
She bids US blush for all the Past.
If what she Graves can bring her
peace,
Oh, be it hers at last!
No matter by what name tbs called,
II 1t be sire Of nobler days.
Perhaps too long we shrank appalled,,
And fed in terror from a phrase.
Thou knowest all Thy daughters
breast,
And all its inmost dreams dost
know,
Ii what she Graves can bring her rest,
Lord, help us to bestow!
William Watson.

THE POET AND HIS SONG.
A song is but little thing,
And yet what Joy it Is to sing;
In hours OF toll it gives me zest
And when at eve I long for rest,
When cows come home along the
bars,
And in the field hear thu bell,
AS night, the shepherd, herds his
stars,
I sing my song, and all is we'll.
There are no ears to hear my lays,
No lips to lift word of praise,
live and laugh and love and sing.
What matter you unheeding throng?
They cannot feel my spirits spell.
Since life is SWEET and love Is long,
sing my song, and all is well.
My days are never days of ease;
l till my ground and prune my tFess,
When ripened gold is all the plain,
I put my sickle in the grain.
I labor hard, and toll and sweat.
While others dream within the d5ll;
But even while my brow is wet,
I sing my song, and all is well.
Sometimes the sun, unkindly hot,
My garden makes desert spot;
Sometimes blight upon the tree
Takes all my fruit away from ms;
And then with throes of bitter pain
Rebellious passions rise and swell;
is more than fruit Or grain,
And so I sing, and all is we'll.
Paul Laurence Dunbar.
