JUST A NIOfYIIENT'
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius, the
Sunshine Man.

Over the sorrow and over the bliss, !.
Over the teardrop, over the kiss.
Over the crimes that blotted and blurred.
over the wound OF the angry word.
Over The deeds in weakness done.
Over the battles lost and won.
over the freedom. over our thralls.
In the dark and the midnight. the curtain
falls.
Over our gain and over our loss.
over our crown and over our cross,
over the fret of our discomfort.
over the i'll that We never meant.
over the scars OF our self-denisI.
over the strength that conquered trial,
Quietly final. the prompter calls:
over it swiftly the curtain falls.
over the crowds and the solitudes.
over our shifting, hurrying moods.
over the heaths where bright flames leap
Over the cribs wher. the babies sleep.
Over the clamor, over the strife,
over the pageantry OF lie,
Swiftly and surely. from starry walls.
Silently downward the curtain falls.
-Harper's Bazar.
