Unless the food you eat is digested

All. mark how the powerful packet pro-
ceeds,
With rush and the roaring of steam.
Spreading waves that are high and that
hiss in their might
Where many a boatman is swept out Of
sight
And left to float down with the stream!
And the timbers of many a pitiful wreck
Are strewn on the rocks and the shores,
And many boatman is calling for aid,
And a few are undaunted and many
afraid,
And many lean limp on their oars.
The banks of the river are barren some
times,
Or gracefully sloping and green.
And the winds that blow over them often
are wild.
And now and then fragrantly scented and
mild,
With orchards a-bloom on the scene;
And ever the river is winding about,
And the bars are forever unknown,
For the channel keeps changing by night
And the streams that flow in tempt the
many away,
While few journey upward alone.
The city men call by the name OF Success
Is beautiful city to see,
With domes that are lofty and gilded and
bright
And walls that are graceful and splendid
and white,
And proud vessels moored at the quay;
But never from UNEMPLOYED regions above,
Whence the waters eternally flow.

To be moored where the columns and

He hears a glad brook flow along,
And from a branch above his head
There falls sweet June shower of song.
