THE CRY.


There's a VOC ~ my heart that cries
and cries for tears.
I. is not voice, but d pain OF many
fears.
II is not a pain, but the rune Of far-of
spheres.
I, may be a damon Of pent and high
emprise,
That looks on my soul till my soul
hides and cries,
Loath to rebuke my soul that bid IL
arise.
1t may be myself as was IN another
life.
Fashioned 10 lead where strife gives
way 10 strife,
Pinioned here IN failure by knife
thrown after knife.
The child turns Ger in the womb; and
perhaps the soul
Surtures dream TOO strong for the
souls control.
when the dream hath Eyes, and senses
It's destined goal.
Deep in darkness the bulb under mould
and ciod
Feels the sun in the SKY and pushes
above the sod, 4.
Perhaps this cry in my heart Is moth
ing but Cod

Rather the reverse. His frank biog-

Yuan was against the Boxers all

Of ignoring imperial edicts against
