LONDON: T. NELSON AND SONS, PATERNOSTER ROW; EDINBURGH, AND NEW YORK. 1S64. There is a stream whose troubled breastBeareth to eternal restCountless vessels on its waveSpeeding daily to the—grave !Varied form and varied size,Varied as their destinies.Ships of war with stately pride.Ponderous colliers float beside.Pleasure-yachts and steam-barques trim,Hastening to the horizon dim. Mid the turmoil and the dinSoftly floats a green leaf inIn business struggle, pleasure race,Wishful she may find a place,Whispering mid each bustling sceneOf resting places cool and green—Quiet spots where birds and flowersGladden the sweet summer hours—Where afar from snares and strifeThere may see the end of Life. A whisper too from worlds unseenHath the bright leaf of evergreenOf realms beyond the setting sunWhere, when Lifes busy day is done.Crown and palm branch shall awaitEach conqueror at Heavens gate. ltd.
