"NOT UNDERSTOOD. " [re-published by special request.] We reproduce the very beautiful poem "Not Understood;" by the late Thomas Bracken, whose death has left a blank in the ranks of New Zealand poets that has not since been filled ; Not understood. We move along asunder, Our paths grow wider as the seasons creep Along the years ;we marvel and we wonder Why,life is life? and then we fall asleep— Not understood. Not understood. We gatherfalse impressions, And hug them closer as the years go by, Till virtues often seem, tq,, us transgressions ; And thus men rise and fall and and die— Not understood. Not understood. Poor souls with stunted . .vision '• , :.:,-;..'." Oft measure giants by their narrow gauge; The poisoned shafts of falsehood and derision Are oft impelled 'gainst those who mould the age— Not understood. Not understood. The secret springs of action, Which lie beneath the surface and the show, Are disregarded ; with self-satisfaction We judge our neighbors and they often go— " • - Not understood. Not understood. How trifles often change us! The thoughtless sentence or the fancied slight Destroy long years of friendship and estrange us; , And on our souls there falls a freezing blight! Not understood. Not understood. How many .souls are aching Jr"or lack of sympathy ! Ah ! day by day, How many cheerless, lonely, hearts arc breaking ! Howmany noble spirits pass away— Not understood. Oil, God! that men would see a little erOr judge less harshly where they cannot see; Oh, God! that men would draw a Itttle nearer ; To one another—they'd be nearer Thee- - And understood.
