When consider Life and it's few
 years A wisp of fog betwixt us and the sun A call to battle. and the battle done Ere the last echo dies within our ears A rose ehoked tn the grass; an hour
 of fears; The gusts that past darkening shore
 dc beat; The burst of music down an unlisten-
 ing street I wonder at the idleness of tears. Ye old, old. dead. and ye of yester-
 night, Ghieftains and bards and keepers of
 the sheep, By every cup of sorrow that you had, Loose me from tears. and make me

 stayed to weep; Homer his sight, David his little lad
