Life And Death.
LIFE AND DEATH .
CROWDED with laughing girls and boys the green , Some that climbed May-poles , others that between Rude hurdles wreathed with freshly gathered flowers Danced gay and sprightly as the fleeting hours ; While few for whom sweet music had a care , Breathed from the slender reed a rustic air .
When suddenly appeared a mournful train , Carrying a virgin form , no more again To mingle her glad smiles , and bear away The crown allotted to the Queen of May . Hushed was the voice of mirth as each young child Joined the procession , while the cheeks that smiled
Were wet with tear-drops , and the low-drawn breath Announced the presence of mysterious death . Then did I muse in silence , Ci What is life , That we should vex our spirits with its strife ? And what is love and beauty mid the gloom , Of that dark narrow bed , the silent tomb ?"—E . W . J .

LIFE AND DEATH .
CROWDED with laughing girls and boys the green , Some that climbed May-poles , others that between Rude hurdles wreathed with freshly gathered flowers Danced gay and sprightly as the fleeting hours ; While few for whom sweet music had a care , Breathed from the slender reed a rustic air .
When suddenly appeared a mournful train , Carrying a virgin form , no more again To mingle her glad smiles , and bear away The crown allotted to the Queen of May . Hushed was the voice of mirth as each young child Joined the procession , while the cheeks that smiled
Were wet with tear-drops , and the low-drawn breath Announced the presence of mysterious death . Then did I muse in silence , Ci What is life , That we should vex our spirits with its strife ? And what is love and beauty mid the gloom , Of that dark narrow bed , the silent tomb ?"—E . W . J .
