THE MAROON TIGER
73
Yet I in ceaseless unrest rest
And stir my craft though vile seas yawn—
I'll lean my head on Roma’s breast,
Ere from the mist stalks forth the dawn.
I will find rest, a hearth, a home
Ere twilight rays of morning come.
Grady Farley, ’29.
GIVE THEM A CHANCE
Oh, how unfortunate am I
That I must judge a friend
Of such a wrong, when 1 am wrong
And am a child of sin.
And who am I that I must break
Your tender heart and leave
You here, and then at dawn awake
To hear you brood and grieve?
If I could not be kind and love,
And with you sympathize,
As T commune with stars above
I would hate and despise—
’Tis His to judge us all, my friend;
For Him we all must live;
Tis ours to love each other and then
Through faith and hope, forgive.
’Tis ours to love, and we must care
And even understand,
For there’s a time we all shall err,—
Such is the fate of man.
Raoul Montgomery.

Wouldst thou be happy?
Take an easy way:
Think of those around thee—live for them each day
Think of their plan, their loss, their grief, their care;
All that they have to do, or feel or bear;
Think of their pleasure, of their good, their gain;
Think of those ’round thee—it will not be in vain.
—Anon.

And to keep it to the end.
