THE F-EAST OF DEATH<br />

ar c. c.<br />

WHO can portray the turbulent tenor of life<br />

Seething, throbbing in a stricken world?<br />

The fermentation, fever, foul remourse,<br />

Misgiving weighs the deepest, sternest thought,<br />

Within the minds of those who yet can think.<br />

I would not play a critic's<br />

part, and blame<br />

The temporal lords of war and woe, who think<br />

Themselves responsible tn Destiny.<br />

Than they, no more is the dying soldier boy<br />

A pawn in the game of the groaning generate gods,<br />

Receiving but the reward of their own work.<br />

0 Death,-I do salute thee! For thy time<br />

Is measured, and thy race is circumscribed.<br />

Enjoy thy farewell feast! Oft hast thou washt<br />

Our spiritual wounds, delayed our stubborn ills.<br />

Evil's sole excuse, thou art-and ours.<br />

Thou art the devil's dancing hall of mirrors.<br />

But we shall look within ourselves and feel<br />

Immortal Life that reckons not thy power,<br />

And in our ultimate consciousness we shall forget thee.<br />
