THE EARTH PATH.
In the opening morn of life and
langliter
When all things come in rosy hue My puerite thoughts dwelt on sweet
Inature
And everything seemed so true
I thought of the summits I'd scale Heights of attainment and power, And secrets that I would uitreil, Rambles of life that I'd scour
Up these vistaed slope's 1 then sped Till evening came sad and dreary And the joys and thrills were all fed Leaving me alone and weary
1 bare kwed in a swift fleeting hour, Youth's dream of love glorified But it just like sweet fading flower Blossoined a short while and died
In the ashes of by-gones remain, My struggles and keen hopes
dreferred
And dreams that will not again Awaken or be disinterred
Now divested of all its falso glitter That earth-pathy that I trod Lens to the highway bitter That ever kads to God
