PHILOSOPHY
If only you and I could see The future that before us lies, • The tears, the happiness, the sighs Which shrouded m eternity Are hidden;. Oh mockery, are we To stumble blindly m a dream? Dear wife, shall we seem Faithless if we lose our trust . In the high Gods, or must We yield our captive souls . , To the Unknown? The star which rolls Through the soft beauty of the evening sky Is free and like a meteor : ' -\ . .*. .Can tear its flaming way. Are we inferior? Let us walk upright on life's Appian Way, Unheeding idle chatter; may ' . "*-- ' We love Beauty, Honor, Truth, Hating the wrong, and keep our youth . Unspotted from the mire. We. shall not fear. Our fate, nor shall we shed a tear When m the evening of a -summer's day Our tired souls shall gently slip away. ' * * —F.S.
