THE RIVER OF LIFE.
When tlio crini'-on sun is setting And tho land in puip'/e g-lows, "While tho lowing of the caltle Faintly conies and faintly goes. Then ; ah ! then my weary spirit Vainly shugulea to bo lire. As 1 walk the flowing streamlet Wandering onward to thebca. Partly, sadly eomclh o'er me Thoughts ot her, Oh ! once fo near,. Who now, alas ! hos-^ono for ever As tho streamlet lour* the sea. Ah. our li \ cs are like a ri\ cv Hu«»liing forwurd to the sea. Some £0 lnr.dly, s\% iitly, rns/.mg;,, Others, siower, deep j et free. A^ our li\ es are like a m ci, So may mine be swift lomo 1 hat llowinc? over all obbi ruction Meets at h ngth 'he open bo<i. E-o ma> T wlien life is emUcl J\leet licr in eternity .
