Tell her that deepest thoughts can never find The garb of words ; and they play dotibtmgly Who, losing, must lose all, and be resigned To travel ever 'neath a shadow, wearily. Ring, pretty bells that grace this amulet, Warning from danger, or to joy inviting ; And when the shadows crowd, and sun is set, Chime, sweetly chime, her dreaming thoughts de- lighting. BRIEFS BY A BARRISTER. 47 And, porte bonheur, what e'er thy queen may do, Do not belie thy name and happily Thou may'st instruct me by w...hat means to woo A smile from her whose smile is melody. 48 BRIEFS BY A BARRISTER. YESTERDAY, TO-DAY, AND FOREVER. But yesterday 't was summer, and the sky Was clear, and love was wafted on the air ; Youth smiled on joy, hope sparkled in my eye, And life seemed fair. To-day 't is winter, and the clouds drop rain, Winds rave, my heart is filled with fear and hate. Age frowns on joy, hope flies from tearful pain : Death, thou art late. Forever thus on Time's remorseless tide Must we drift onward, 'till our sorrows given Curse us with bitterness or gently guide Our souls to heaven.
