Poem Tn childhood ' s bright awakening, In young life ' s rosy morn, She neither thought nor questioned To what would lead this dawn. Her dreams were of the present. She had no worlds to win; She had no mystic fancies Of the life she must begin. In girlhood ' s sunny noontide, The glory of her youth. She wondered, thought, and questioned The path which led to truth. She dreamed of life ' s bright future; She thought of worlds to win; She trod in youthful fancy Paths yet untrod by men. In womanhood ' s rich sunset. The climax of her power. Hushed was wonder, thought, and question. The bud was now in flower; No dream of brilliant future. Her path was almost trod. She sought for truth, and found it In duty to man and God. I n age ' s lengthening twilight, Life ' s day is almost spent; She sits in silent retrospection, A form white-haired and bent. Xo heralds sing her praises, Crownless her silvered hair; But the angel choir awaits her In the bright home over there. MADGE JACKSON. Page 22
