"IDEALS"
From morn till eve, from eve till
morn, \long with Father Time we go, Youth eagerly ascends the hill To Hnd out what, there is to know; Age with wisdom dearly won, When life's little, day is done, Sinks slowly with the setting sun. Ideals are stars that lift the eye From the changing road ? to the changeless sky,
To .comtemplate the The fountain of eternal light, That shines through Heaven's con-. tours bright, To cheer the pilgrims, of the night. Ideals are tidal waves Of thought That, many miracles hi ve sought To overcome evil with good. Many mighty ones have stood Inspired, by the Power that rules tli,e sun t With dauntless courage to face the gun, jTha't flames, and roars and desolates The destinies of men and states. The world is praying that war may cease ? And men walk in the paths of peace, That the heroes numbered with the slain May not have given their lives in in vain. . IT. SERGANT.
