LET THE WEARY WORLD GO ROUND.
Let tho weary world go round I What care 1 ? Life's surfeiting of sound; I would die. It would bo so sweet to lie Under waving grasses, Where a shadow fleeting by Of a cloudlet in the sky (Sometimes,passes. Why remain? Graves are the sheltering wimples Against life's rain ; Graves are the sovran simples Against life's pain; Giaves are a mother's dimples, When we complain. 0 Death! beautiful Death 1 Why do they then dijflgure To me thy touch, thy breath, Hath not alarm nor rigour. Thee do I lons a-wait; 1 think thee very late; I pine much to be going; Others havo gone before; I hunger more and more To know what they are knowing, Weak heart, be thou content ! Accept the banishment; Liko other sorrows life will end for thee J Yet for a little while Bear with this harsh exile, And Death will soften, and will send for thee. -The National Review.
