POETRY

THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN. | wish that there were some wonderful Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heart And all our poor selfish grief Could be dropped like. a shabby coat at And never be ut on again. ' wish we could come on it all unaware, Like the hunter who finds lost trail. And wish that the one whom our blind-
 ness had done The greatest injustice of all ':ould be at the gates. like an old friend For the comrade he's rladest to hall I've would find all the things we intended But forgot and remembered too late. Little praises unspOken. little promises
 broken.
 And all the thousand and one Little duties neglected that might nave The day for one less fortunate It wouldn't be possible not to be kind In the Land of Beginning Again; And the ones we rnisjudged and the ones
 whom we grudged Tlleir moments of victory here Would find in the grasp of our loving More than penitent lips could explain. For what had been hardest we'd know
 had been best.
 And what had seemed lost would be
 gain:
 Tor there isn't sting that would not
 take wing When we've faced it and laughed 1t away :; Ind l think, that the laughter IS most
 what we're after
 In the Land of Beginning Again
