Che Cragedy Life The curtain rises—the day dawns drear On the manifold wastes of Time; The waves are lashing, the shore is strewn With the wreckage of human minds; Not only with human clay is it strewn, This craggy and treacherous shore, But ’tis haunted with broken vows and faith, And Hope that lives no more. Tis a pleasant thought to us who sail That some of us reach the goal; But many, oh many, are those that fail O'er whom the tempests roll. They are swept on rocky jutting crags By sinister currents unseen; They are caught by invisible hands and flung On the shore—just lifeless Things. Out of this tumult of sorrow and pain Despair and Despondency come; And Death-in-Life takes her seat on the throne— The curtain falls; Life is done. —May Delle Ferguson '29
