The Present.
Out of that past not yet a Avanderer came , Upon it nig ht and darkness settle down , Still drives us here howsoe ' er we strive , complain The powerful hand of Fate ' s all rougher frown . So is the Present of our hard strife to-day ,
A ceaseless fight for a goal all far away , Of the storm-reared waves the fantastic play . Are all our courage , all our faith in vain 1 Still Hope upon us smiles consolingly , midst our pain , Both mild and calm , a leading star in life ' s dark hurricane
The Future.
THE FUTURE .
All that I see , alas ! is strife in vain , For dark and doubtful my knowledge does appear , That which T . Avish I lose ere . long again , Deceit and treachery surround me here . For no duration lingers with my life , Ancl I at last must close my every care
, Dispersed the night-clouds of this weary strife , A brighter certainty will enfold me there . Aurora tells me that the day is near ; Victorious light through the shadoAvs will appear , When manfully Ave struggle for the truth all clear .
The golden gates are opened wide at last Of yon dear home—no longer now o ' ercast , Time bids longing hearts look on to joys that last .
Stanzas.
STANZAS .
So must I then with sorrowing eyes behold , How my golden stars have fallen clown , The bloom has faded from the tree of life , all cold , The leafless tree the withered branches croAvn . Must the light winds all Fortune bear away 1 Must each light tone of joyousness resound 1 With Fate I know no favourite to-day , Clear is the flood , I yet must touch the ground
Uncertain Light.
UNCERTAIN LIGHT .
Pathless aud trackless the rocks above The Pilgrim storms on his wandering Avay , Bushing streams ancl tumultuous flood , Eesounding forest , naught the foot can stay .
