19 This World of Ours What a queer old seething world Full of sorrow and of strife, As each DAY is onward hurled, And each LITTLE care runs RIFE. Like the warbling of a BIRD In the CHESNUT trees o'erhead Flows each life. So we GRANT each fleeting hour Full allegiance to the WRIGHT. So we seek for every power, And we JURKAT with our might. When the SUMMER skies Blume, All is bright. When the harvest is all waiting And the CORNWELL started too. When the humming birds are mating And old nature FOSTERS you; And for HOLLIDAYs repining Long and true. When the MILLER softly wings Round about on every side. And the gold-SMITH joyfully sings As he fashions in his pride. Then we marvel at this earth With its WAITS of pain not mirth On every side. 68 Bradford. 16
