COMPENSATION.
This much I know-though life ha
brought me care,
The pain of sorrow and its bitter los
Has laid upon my shoulders many
And many a heavy burden, hard t.
Though I Have truased II. rogse,
thoroughfare
In search of gold, and found bu
worthless dross,
And seen the winds my hopes il
ruin toss. "
In all its splendor it has let me share
I owe INTO the gift which men ca
life
All that has made MY round Of year
worth while,
The rich devotion Of a loving wife,
The home made radiant by her gentl
smile,
The children's laughter, and-to max
amends
For all its are and pain-the joy q
