QUATRAINS.
Ere thv dark minister, O Earth, Shall that brief summons show Which to the self is utter death But to the soul not so,
All hoarded pride, all hooked gear Ere then I would resign, That to this doomed self is dear, O Life, and live in thine.
As Autumn, in her pride and strength, Her heaped treasure lays; Surrender thou reward'st at length With fresh and living bays. —W.D'A.C.
