THE DOUGLAS BREEZE. VOL. IX. if. brief and breezy. Then Life Would Be Divine. If those who whine weuWl whistle And those who languish laugh. The rose would rout the thistle. The grain outrun the clmS. If heart# were only jolly, If grieving were forgot And tears and melancholy Were things that now are not, _ Then love would kneel to duty, ' And all the world would soeiu A bridal bower of beauty, A dream within a dream. * If niim would cease to worry And women cease to sigh And afl be glad to bury Whatever has to dlo. If neighbor spake to neighbor As lovflfclemands of all. The rust would eat the saber. The spear stay on the wall. Then every day would glisten. And every eye would shine. And God would pause to listen, Anilife would be divine. —J.
