The Pass Of Death.
Next came a man of wealth , And his eye was proud and bold , And he bore in his hand a lengthy scroll , Telling of sums untold ; But Death , who eareth not for rank - , Careth as little for gold" Here that scroll I cannot allow , For the gold of the richest is powerless now . "
Another followed past , And a book was in his hand , Filled with the flashes of burning thought , That are known in many a land ; But the child of genius quailed to hear , Death ' s pitiless demand" Here that book cannot enter with thee ,
For the bright flash of genius is nothing to me . " Next came a maiden fair , Witli that eye so deeply bright , That stirs within you strange , sweet care , Should you meet on a summer night . But Death , eve the gentle maid passed through , Snatched away its
light"Beauty is power in the world , " lie saith , " But what can it do in the Pass of Death . " A youth of sickly mien , Followed iu thoughtful mood , Whose heart was filled with love to God , And the early brotherhood ; Death felt he could not quench the heart , That lived for other ' s good" I own , " cried he , " tho power of love , I must let it pass to the realms above .
