100 OTHER VERSE |

I woke benumbed and chilled, for coming night
Had brought its added dampness, and I found The dog had slain a score of venomed snakes,
And some lay writhing yet about the mound. They'd sought to wound me as I slept, but that
True friend, the trusty dog, had met them there, Else, with my classic dream, I'd been undone
By reptiles that, like other cowards, dare Smite but the helpless; and the vision taught
A lesson—that, perchance, is old—to me: Build all you may, 'twill crumble into dust,
But love, and thought, and song, will ever be, Though temples fall and riches come to naught. |

EASTER LILIES AND EASTER BELLS.
Easter lilies and Easter bells; Sweet the story their coming tells.
Faith and Hope, the lilies sing;
Peace unto the soul they bring. High, Salvation's anthem swells In the music of the bells.
Easter lilies and Easter bells;
Sweet the story their coming tells. |
