DAUGHTERS OF WOE.
V7hat does night cover? A sea I hot moans because its wares arc spread O'er manv a husband, father, sou, and lover, Untimely dead. What does nitfht cover? The Ghastly sight of billowed battle plain, O'er which the raven ancd tho vulture liover Above tho elain. What does night cover? A world of women cowering 'ncath a blow From which, not heart nor aoul phall Quite reeorer, Daughters of woe. Bless them with pity' As the warm gulf-stream toward them let it sweep, It may thrill visions of the Holy Ciiy Through their sad sleep. -Hoslik. Auckland, K.Z.. August 15, 1914,
