HOPELESS NOT HEARTLESS. 



Nor would I change my buried love 

 For any heart of living mould, 

 No for I am a hero's child 

 I '11 hunt my quarry in the wild; 

 And still my home this mansion make, 

 Of all unheeded and unheeding, 

 And cherish for my warrior's sake, 

 The flower of ' Love-lies-bleeding

SENTIMENT. 



Though the burning tears 



Like gems are on thy cheek 

 Though the burdened heart hath sorrow 



Which the lip may never speak; 

 Though the memories of Hope's treacherous song, 



In sad relief, are set 

 Against thy coming years of ill, 



With all their vain regret 

 Yet, in the stern morality 



Which rises from this hour, 

 Thou mayst gain a perfect talisman 



Of a pervading power; 

 T is the lesson of earth's vanity, 



And as its phantoms rise 

 And die like buds around the thorn, 



Mayst ripen for the skies. 



Willis G. Clark.
