THE COMMENT iiflllurn BEULAH Weir A rosy Hush low on the eastern sky, The murmur of all life at break of day, The brightening glow as speed the minutes on, And then a golden beam, the sun's first ray. 'Till now our lives have been a rosy dawn, A promise ofthe fair day that's to be, But now the care of Phoebus 'gins its state Upon the shores of Upportunity. The promised day is fair but who can know What clouds may gather on the horizon? What thunder peals may rock the very skies? What mists may rise and blot away the sun? But let us not forget the sun is there And shining bright, e'en though the clouds be gray Without the rain the earth would be a waste Of desert sands-alike from day to day. Mere worldly storms are sent to try menls souls, A life of ease neler gave a hero might, And never was a cloud so black and dark But had a lining fair, of silver bright. Oh let us live! and living, say we do Our homely tasks, our part in life, our share Of good for those, our laboring fellow-men, Who, struggling at our side would have us there. So let us live that when the sun is set And twilight 'gins to glimmer o'er the plain, The sun's last rays will turn the clouds to gold- And may we know we labored not in vain.
