I chatter, chatter ax I flow To join the brimming river. For men may come and men may go, But go on forever.

RETROSPECT When evening comes, and memories of the past Drift back to us on fairv-filmy wings From the dim twilight of the vanished years. These pages will a richer meaning have; Recalled from the diverging ways of life Fre m restlessness of crowded city streets. From tropic jungle or the desert plain, From foreign lands, from lonely ocean graves, From dreamless sleep w here violets bloom In quiet churchyard on some sunlit hill, From beyond the walls built by greed and hate. By selfishness and sorrow', pain and sin, I Jnmarred bv the scroll of the years between. We here shall meet once more as on the day When first we turned these pictured pages through Musing then, when lighthearted youth has fied. On the dear old sch x l. on river and on ridge. We shall understand at last the debt we owe To those whose frequent thankless task it was To give us light to solve the maze of life! a. m.
