♦ SOCIETY NEWS ;
♦ JOY AND LOVE ♦
Young Joy and Love at morn set sail
On great Life’s holiday;
Youg Joy, that started with a smile.
Grew weary in a little while.
But Love went all the way.
Joy slept and dreamed that life might
be
A thing of sun and dew;
But Love toiled on while other slept,
His midnight ward and visit kept,
And made his vision true.
Young Joy grew weary at the helm.
And laid him down to die;
Love found the North star’s steady
light,
And steered his vessel through the
night,
To ports of victory.
