"SWEETER STILL."
"Give me the heights of Fame, The hills most high, And let me write my name Across the sKy !" .
Thus in the night I heard The voice of one Whose soul aud heart were stirred To reach the sun.
Anon across the years, I heard him cry; "O give ma back the fears, The hopes goue by !
"The lowly ways are best, The vale aud glen, • Where I could toil aud rest With other men.
"The heights of fame are sweet; But sweeter still That humble, glad retreat, Beneath the bill."
