THE WORLD IN ITS BLINDNESS. The blind world sees him pass, Weak and wan and ill; It sees the pain ho has/ Knows not his inner will. It sees but the spirit mesh, Its dark and cankerous dole; Knows not that this scarred flesh Marks the triumph of a soul. *■ Harold'S. Symmes. OUR DREAM. Pecrhance to men it may not be given To know things real that-may not seem; If, living on earth, we dream of heaven, Why, then, I hold it better to dream. Let us dream on ’mid the splendid shadows That make existence, a gladsome thing. Tn 1 dim deep woods and the flowery meadows, _ Where fairies frolic and skylarks sing. , , Where bright shapes linger/andjnigel faces ... . (I low in the gleam of a- visioned day, ■ -~ And o’er the uplands on grassy spaces Fond lovers wander, fair childicn play. . Let us dream ©till, then, nor strive to sever _ Things that are real from things that seem, Let us slumber on for ever and ever And know no wakening from life’s glad dream. —James Ashcroft Noble.
