THE FUTURE.
“You will never, never catch it, Though you run with all your might, For it lies just round tfie corner, And ’tis always out of sight! “You think perhaps to reach it On the summit of the hill, But fresh heights tow’r above you, And you are climbing still. “E’en if you go a-sailing* New countries to explore, You will scarce discern the outline Of that undiscovered shore. “ ’Tis the voice which bids you follow— Heights unattained—supreme ; ’Tis the far and unknown country Where you anchor’d in a dream. “Yet—you ‘hope’ it lies before you— That one day you will attain To a land where all is beauty, And a world grown young again!” —Anne Macdonald, in “Chaimbers’s Journal.’*
