POEMS READING.


sFthh bsFS
Tyres ruined walls are but as shards or
sand;
"alien the soaring tower. the stately
fame.
And yet through all the lovely autumn
The Tyrian dyes remain.
So, seeing how the aster puppies CLEAN.
And the wild sunnower naunts its golden
FIRE.
Transported on the magic wings Of dream.
The mind goes back to Tyre.
Back to the bales high heapcd upon the
quays.
Rich coiored fabrics for the far OF
shores;
Back to the deep. full freighted argoslcs,
with their tall banks Of oars;
Back to the looms. and to the maids and
men
who wrought thereon for the wide
worlds desire:
Back to the splendor so long vanished
when
Hiram was king Of Tyre!
From the watch tower upon the parapet
80 warier calls now at the midnight ;
wane.
For all IL dearth and desolation, yet
The Tyrian dyes remain.

4 Ballad Of Buddha.

From the routk's Conn dnion.
Who is the woman that cometh
whore the Buddha sits at rest,
the while she beareth
Her dead child on her breast?
Help met" the cry of her anguish;
Help mo. Enlightened One
Hast thou the power and the mercy
To give me back my SON."
Answers the Buddha kindly:
THY grief A. shall pass away,
And thy son shall be thine brewer,
And thy night he turned to day;
Bring me the seed Of mustard:
Though but a single seed.
II II come from the place appointed.
That shall he all We need"
what Is the place appointed?
Tel me, Enlightened One,
Whore shall md the mustard
That will give me back my SOM"
Answers the Buddhn kindly:
In hoVol or hall Of pride
Where never a wife or husband
or parent or son has died"
Searching. the woman wanders
Afar on her eager quest
For the seed that will soothe and Danish
The pain that gnaws her breast,
But In every home she enters,
or hovel or hall Of pride,
There are hearts bowed down IN sorrow
For loved ones who have died.
Their sorrow calls for service:
And the while she tarries there
She lifts n bit the burden
That comes with grief and care.
Then 10, her search Is ended;
Her night becomes tho day;
For In the grief Of others
Her own has passed away
