IN THE BLOOM OF LIFE
LOVE is THE STRONGEST

In the bloom of life love is the strong
est, and never so great again.
The second growth may spring up, but
only a nubbin split in twain;
The peep of the rose in the bud, is the
sweetest essence of ALL
When the bloom is fully unfoldcd,
there is no fragrance at all.
When a man has reached tn ealotted
years, and going down on the
other side,
Love links are then cankered. and the
pit marks he can not hide;
He may strive for a companion, bu.
the rust will baffel all the skill.
That cankered link will never weld,
SO let him go at will.
When love is forced mechanically, it
will not join together,
Inc glow VI love Is Ill one OF tnem,
but not in the other;
In the cerimony the vow is solemnly
made, but this will not unite,
The insincerity in one of them, will
will not then or ever requite.
A wrongful act can be welded, but
the scar is there to be seen,
And the young with the old, but the
years you can not screen;
The grass will grow over ditch, but
the spade marks will remain,
So with the old for money, but time
will not remove the stain.
He may reach for the hand his eyes
are resting on from the mound,
But her hand he can not get, unless
the money is placed down;
So money will not hide the cankered
links, even though it be gold
II money is the object: one has
bought, and theother has sold.
That tree with one green branch, will
live longer than she calculates,
The years are going by, and she is
older growing. and still she
waits;
So impatiently waiting on him. that
she will soon that gold bank
own:
When that tree falleth, she will not
live to see that spot mown.
She has spent her life in waiting, but
the tree falleth too late,
Her hair glitters with frost, and now
again she can never mate;
She fingers then over the place
where her sorrows will never
be told,
Longing Tor that day to come, when
she would possess that gold.
We may let our minds deceive us. on
things we see in this world,
Wanting to live like others, with this
our future is hurled;
cankered link vii never weld, but
will break in twain,
Then to weld the aged with the
young, is only an inhuman
STAIN
Then to the old fool stop and think
and let the young be wise,
