THE HUMAN FACE.
The human face—have you e'er r-ius-cd and sighed Upon its power, this little rounl . from brow to chin ? The thumb and fingers aran. It -have you tried To sound its depths, its love to lose or win * The eyes'that look a t you with Heav ven's own light, That quicken to the highest call, or woo To Hell and all forgetfulness of right, The eyes so potent with the hearts that sue !
The human face —these lips that tell v and feel All that the world can hold from fire to pole ; Their kiss can change a kingdom, and the weal Of human destiny is there—they' own the soul ; We shall be judged by eyes and mouth at last, 4 Whatever life may come—whatever ♦ life is past. —W. Ci fatridge.
