OF Those Who Walk Alone.

Loving that one lost heart until they

Loving It only.
And so they never see beside them

Children, whose coming is like breath
OF flowers;
Consoled by subtler loves the angels

Through Childless hours.
Good deeds they do; they comfort and

Their look lie balm, their touch is
Tenderness
To all in sorrow,
BetInnes tho world smiles at them, as
