TO BE.
The most wonderful tales are yet untold, Undiscovered the richest vein of gold ; The sweetest songs are the songs unsong, The most perfecc deeds are the deeds undone. i For the tale, our lispiog accents mar, ■ And the gold we would gaiu Uia climes afar ; And our ear is dull to catch finest strain, And desires float nebulous through the brain. , But atir not the heart that the best be done ■ On this earth so fair 'neath this radiant sun. Shall we wake one morn with the tale full told 1 In our hands the jar of the " Rainbow Gold ? " Shall we hear the soDg break loud and clear 1 , And do the dee! we but dreamed of heie ? 'April 189Zi —Waldo.
