Some are rich, enjoying pleasures Of this world with careless ease; Some are poor and laden with much Sorrow, deeper than the seas; Yet we all should be contented, Whether rich, poor, sad, or gay, For this life is what we make it. There's some sunshine every day. Oct. , 1905. A VALUED LESSON. [Thought upon leaving Exeter. ] I sat beneath a stately elm, While Autumn round me threw her cloak, As though she would my mind o'erwhelm With thoughts of other lands and folk. And as she fanned my solemn ...brow With a refreshing, cooling breeze, I fell to thinking of the now And of the then that is to be: 96 That I am now a student poor In knowledge of this universe, With many hardships to endure Ere I may ope that valued purse. And as I sat reflecting 'lone, A little bee came flying near In search of honey for his cone To feed him through the winter drear. He lighted on a tiny flower, Which swayed and bent beneath his weight, But finding not sufficient dower, He flew away and left it straight. But there his efforts did not end, He tried another, and one more, And yet again he tried to rend Some from another for his store.
