FATE.
In dreamland fancy .God appeai«d to me, And spread before my gaze Life's rolling sea; With golden sceptre then did He outline The movements He, as Fate, decread were mine. Here should I wander in a distant land. And there face dearth upon a foreign strand, 'Mid aimless rovings were my actions shown, Till Fate decreed sufficient years had flawn. Then towards my biithland I my steps inclined, Of roaming -weary, in both heart and mind, But first begged God, ere yet the vision fled. To show to me the woman I would wed. Ho did a% and, ah! then, how my heart leapt With joy that through those weary years had slept, ~ For she and I had loved back in the past — Through God, as Fate,, we'd reunite aft last. — C. S-L. Wellington, Augnst, i 909 .' ' -- -
