DESIRES.

BY BERTON

BRALET.

Man looks for little here below,

A little chance, maybe,

To find in Love a little glow,

In Youth a little glee

A little time for frivoling Before the years are shriveling

A spirit glad and free.

Man gets but little here below. Nor keeps that little long

A little hour perhaps to know

A little mirth and song,

A little strength for laboring.

A little time for neighboring

With friends among the throng.

+

Man looks for little here below. And little does he get,

Save, now and then, a little show

To ean, by work and sweat,

A little cash for squandering

On pleasuring or wandering

To ease the heart of fret.

+

+

Men, hoping little here below, Wins even less, it's true. Most of his little visions go

Quite swiftly up the flas!, Life has a heap of.stings to it, Yet, golly, how man clings to it

Until his time is through!
