Sometla**, when rude, Bold thadows run AoroM whatever light I nee t When all the work that I bare dona, Or can do, iceni but vanity ; I strive, nor vainly strive to get Some little heart’a-eaae from the day When all the weariness and fret Shall raelsh from my life away ; For I, with grandeur elothed upon, Shall Ite in state and take my res', And all my household, strangers grown, Shall bold me for an honored guest. But ere that day when all is set In order, very still and grand, And while my lent are lingering yet Along tbia tronbled borderland ; What things will be the first to (ado And down to utter darkness siuk ; The treasures that my hands have laid Where moth and rust corrupt, I think. And Lore will be tbe last to wait And light my gloom with gracious gleams, For Lovo lies nearer Heaven's glad gate * Than all imagination dreams. Ay, when my soul its mark shall drop, The twain to be no more at one. Love, with its prayers shall boar me up Beyond the lark’s vrings and tbe sun. BULLOCK’S RELIEF MEASURE. Paragraph 1.
