THE IRON GATE.

j. d. Gillian.
Upon the iron gate appeared
The happy owners name,
A mansion rose
Behind the fence
For which the stubborn, well-locked
gate
Stood faithful guard
The joyful owner seemed secure
As circled by his family.
He pleased himself on lawn or stoop
or to and fro from business
He entered then and now. j
His children grew:
His business grew;
His years no longer few
Increased. The noisy halls
Fell silent. Voices fled;
And tireless Time
Laid manacles severe on hand and
brain,
And fastened with Tightening chain
The once contented man.
With stealth Death crept into his bed
But clangingly stalked forth and led
A sable, fearful throng.
His palace stones returned to dust;
The gate of iron turned to rust.
His name that seemed to rest secure
In welded steel
Is now engraved
On crumbling stone
In Gods increasing acreage,
The City OF the Dead.
