ORIGINAL POETRY.
Seeking.
What have our human souls to ask, When youth is gone and folly done Oft all too fast. We pause in vain o'er Love and Pain: It cannot last. Thu future dim, with days to win, Its shadows cast: And joys are fleet, yet memory sweet, Within our hearts may hold them fast. On paths of Loom doth Fate entice: The merry day hath slipped away, All fair and nice. Lo! Eland wo now, with heavier brow — Youth comes not twice. What do we seek, by strong or weak, At heedless price ? All Earth may lend, or heaven send, Shall it suflice ? Evelyn Macdonald, Aramoa, Alfredton. September 27, 18!)7.
