By seeing you go on,
Day after day,
In ways I may not tread; By watching your dear feet Stumble in paths
My word could save you from, Yet never

By knowing past all doubting That the day will come, When, all else gone,
Alone,
Deserted,
You will turn your face To meet my waiting eyes, And there
Behold your own.

Bursts stark from the terrible horizon
Impersonal death;
But they take not their courage from anger
That blinds the hot being;

Racine - Phaedra |

Good in all,
In the satisfaction and aplomb of animals,
In the annual return of the seasons,
In the hilarity of youth,
In the strength and flush of manhood,
In the

and exquisiteness of old age,
In the superb vistas of death.

And over dead water where the leaves wander
The wind, in russet throes dig their cold furrow,
Allows a long ray of yellow light to flow.

It means the harvest-hirelings' dance with Death;
With

fruitage tempest-toused and torn.
