BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER
The Croxsrond.


There Is 4 crossing OF the path
Where every man must choose his way.
Bear burdens and their aftermath
And plod along from day TO day;
And should no choose with follys eyes.
Greedy for pleasure blind to cost.
Let him beware the stormy skies.
And note the wrecks on beaches tossed.
There is road: Who turns his feet
In although haste. may swift repent;
Though he may race, however fleet.
lie shall not catch the Journey spent.
And though again no stand before
The crossing. though he change his mind
There are the miles he sees no more,
The chance he shall never find.

And narrow; and the other wend
