The Tuao Calls


"The world is very fair; depart from me,
For thou wouldst from all its joys;
Thou art indeed bitter enemy;
One who would bear from the things prize;
Oh, cold and cruel spirit pass me by,
For thou art sorrow and to live is joy.
In grieved, soft tones the angel made reply:
Il am thy FRIEND and not fearf ul foe;
The time will come when thou will W ish me nigh,
And deem my footsteps lagging-far too slow;
To thee was in loving kindness sent;
Thy wish fulfilled will be my punishment"
In rapid, noisless course, time glides away;
Moons and wane multitude of years;
His chidren's children have grown old and gray,
And still for him messenger appears;
The friends of vigorous manhood Ion have gone
And gray moss grows their memo rial stone
With fatering, trembling steps he alks around,
And natures beauteous face scarce behold
The songsters of the grove family heard;
Lies flowers are withered and no buds unfold;
The world alluringly longer SINGS
IT'S as shattered harp with broken strings.
Amidst a busy world he feels alone
AS who has by years outlived his day;
In lifes great drama at time known;
Now, but super, thrown out of the play;
From earthly shackles gladly would be free;
Death seems the prize, and life the penalty
"Again call dost thou bid me depart?"
The angel asked in accents tender, low;
q long have prayed for thee from sad heart;
Thou are my friend, by sorrow taught to know;
The sombre wrappings that the form concealed,
Were cast aside and shining robes revealed
