EVENING STAR. GING HOME We said that the days were evil, We felt that they might be few, or low was oar fortune’s level, And heavy the winter grew; But one who bad no Possession Looked up to the azure dome, And said, in his simple fashion, “Dear friends, we are going home. “This world is the same dull market That wearied its earliest sage; The times to the wise are dark yet, And so hath heen many aa age. tick crow the toiling nations, And red grow the battle spears, And dreary with desolations Roll onward the laden year. “What need of the chanzeless Which time kath so ofien told, Phe spectre that fullows glery, op Ube canker that comes with gold— bat wisdom, and strength and honor, Must fade like the far sea foam, Aad death is the only winner— But, friends, we are going home. “The homes we had hoped to rest in Were open to sin and strife, ‘The @ceams our youth were blessed in, W ere not for the wear of life ; For care can darken cottage, As well as the palace hearth, And birthrights are sold for pottage, But never redeemed on earh.
