I THE MYSTERY He turned his eyes away from life And gazed far out beyond the pale And wondered why, no human eye Had ever sought to pierce the vail That separates mortality From that dark land beyond the sea Of Styx, why all the mystery? Why mortal man has never learned What fate there lies for him in store When from this earth he must depart For habitation on that shore And pondered in perplexity Why thru the ages there should be That silent unsolved mystery. Why souls departed ne'er return With tales of wondrous sights they've So that we, too, may share with'them The joys of which we can but dream What unseen forces hold them there And with them what treasures share That to return, they do not care. Why there is but the one passport For entree to that promised land Across its portals is inscribed To enter death must take your hand No happy medium can there be To cross that dark uncharted sea And reach the shore of Mystery. Said he, by death it must reveal Its hidden treasures will unfold l'll pay the price that I may feast Mine eyes upon its gifts untold I will not wait for death to ride That I will seek by suicide So in that land I can abide. Again to earth I will return And in the world will famous be When I relate of what I learn And solve that age long mystery He died-the world a-waited tense First with excitement-then suspense But naught was heard, save silence. You would control infinity? Thou fool of puny human frame Dened your God, exiled your soul To worship that false goddess-fame SCE I1 Think you more great in power than He Who ruled that till eternity It should remain a-Mystery. -IRENE NICHOLSON
