THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS AWAY.
Ait though in misery, brother. Then I pray, Be comforted ! Thy grief shall pass away. Art thou elated ? Ah ! be not too gay : Temper thy joy ; this, too, shall pass away ! Art thou in danger? Still let reason sway, And cling to hope ; this, too shall pass away ! Tempted, are thou? In all thine anguish lay One truth to heart ; this, too, shall pass away ! Do rays of loftiest glory round tliee play ? King-like are thou? this, too, shall pass away ! Whato'er thou art, where'er thy footsteps stray, Heed tho wise words : this, too, shall pass away ! Paul Hamilton Hayne.
