DRIFTING.
Hill form was bowed sud hi,. eyeg were Jim ;
The beauties of Nature were naught to him;
Hill face waa furrowed by 11trife sod tears,
And bore the sad ilupreaa of wasted years;
While the ak»nu wrecked bark he sought to guid•
W u drifting. rudderless. with the tide ;
Drifting, drifting far out from the 11hore ;
Wave washed and rudderless evermore.
Years in the put, when his life was new,
When ocean was calm snd the skies were blue.
And mu11ic re-echoed its softest lltJ·sin
In the dreamy murmurs of Love's refrain;
He launched his boat, and blithesome and young,
The peans of hope were the songs he sung,
As drifting. drifting beyond the bar,
He mounted the ~aves for an it!le afar.
He freighted his barque for the l11le of Soul11,
Unmindful of shallows, rocks and shoals;
Forgetful that temvests arise and sweep
The slumbering IIUJ'geK from cu.verns deev;
Till broken. rutltlerless. •·utlely l.ossed,
By wild ws,·es shu.t.teretl, the anchor lo11t,
He now is drifting beyond t.he bsy,
To the fateful shadows not fsr sway.
