TOWARD APPEASEMENT.
THE clouds return after the rain,The day after the day;
Life lapses on its endless way,
Th'eternal wax and wane
Alternative of joy and pain:
But what of glad and gay
Thou'st had, thy memories of May,
Time cannot take again.
Rose, birds, enjoyed thou hast, though dumb
Are these and that is shed.
Like Nature, cast away no crumb
That Life vouchsafes of bread,
Content to know that joy will come
Again, when thou art dead.
