BJn Y LIFE is like the full round year,

The change stops not by night nor day, ( 1
Continuing still its ceaseless flow z/''
Os progress toward the better goal, \
As swift the seasons surge and roll
With pleasant work for belter days;
It felt the anxious, joyous thrill, J, / ■"' .7"N x
So free from care and free from ill,
As mind and soul expressed their will ■■
As Nature in so many ways. r/T'""/ / tW; is ‘ ’

With’bundant pleasures everywhere. a// ' ;
My anxious spirit rose and fell /W / .a. 4-4 T
On breezes as they crossed the dell, / J

Prepared to work with strenuous might, P
And struck its blow with free delight, L I

My life is like the Autumn fields " ’
Which ripe the Summer’s prosp’rous growth; i '
For Spring doth sow and Summer toil, * ’
But princely Autumn harvests both.
’I is not a harvest strangely great Qf Northern wheat beneath the snow, Nor think the flowers less complete,
Ihus giv’n to me by kindly fate, Wrapped warm in such embrasure strange Because life’s wars have left their thought
But one I feel is strangely sweet; To f ee i jjg pulseless thrill and glow. Enfurrowed deep on what they wrought.
For steadfast friends mature their love ’Twill be a calm and peaceful rest, — A heav’nly Spring, in splendor meet,
And kindly lift my soul above, Os w hat Earth has it is the best; — Will melt the snow in every place,
And make it glow with joy replete. p or though my sun climb down the West, And life will bloom with newer grace
IV. The flow’rs of life which I have pressed In fields Elysian far more sweet.
My life will be the Winter’s rest I still will hold against my breast, R. D. Carmichael.
