There is still a tendency to speak

sometimes they are referred to as lit

them are as big as the men OF war.
Germans themselves have been in
the habit of describing them as cruis-

outlay for constructin runs from

THE COST

When you've climbed the last round
on the ladder of life,
And look backwards your footprints
to scan;
Will it pain you to think
On eternity's brink
What you lost through your faith in
man?
As you grew to be fond of the lover
he was
Or theone that you thought him to
In the light of your eyes;
You could hardly surmise
That he lacked to so great a degree.
Tho his radiant charms were so win
some and dear
That around you a spell they had
cast;
They were lost in the thought
4 Hat tut HOl you Hdu SOuEut
Was not found from the first to the
Twas requisite zest he supplied to
to your life;
But your keen inward sene would
impart
That you knew all the while
As you basked in his smile
There was war 'twixt your conscience
and heart.
While your heart was so thrilled at
the touch of his hand.
And caresses were rapturous bliss;
Warned the small. silent voice
That the man of your choice
Would forget you just after a kiss.
There were times when his presence
dispelled every doubt,
And you saw in roseate dream
The approach of the day II
When 'twould leave you for aye
BE dissolved by a love so supreme.
For nature like yours to give inf
mite trust
With your love seemed fitting and
good;
,It
When you round that you must,
And concealed all the hurt that you
could
lust a fateful mis-step on the ladder
of life.
Which you made in day that is
past:
Unforgotten, God knows
A memorial rose
Which you plucked with the thought
1t would last
But the thorns of the rose made the
hurt in your heart
To be borne to some haven above;
For the faith that you lost
Was not all of the cost
When the ladder was lighted by love.
