UNDER-TONES AND OVER-TONES OF LIFE. I9 lyike vultures, which over fair valleys will sweep, To feed on the carcass polluting the plain, So they will scorn virtues an angel may seek, To gloat o'er a fault which a fiend would disdain : They dig, like hyenas, to rifle the grave, And laugh as they gnaw at contention's foul bones ; And crocodile tears their dkrk visages lave When mourning the victims they tortured to groans.
I would that each slave of this spirit had learned That searching for faults... is not wisdom or art ; The telescope better from others be turned, The microscope used to examine the heart ; Such visions of failure would doubtless appear.
That mind o'er the virtues of others would brood : Like music this motto would fall on the ear, Don't seek for the evil but cherish the good.
20 UNDER-TONES AND OVER-TONES OF LIFE.
FOAM UPON THE WAVE.
While standing on the pebbly shore To see the surges roll, This thought was borne, 'mid breakers' roar, And cradled in my soul.
However high the billows bound, Or wild their crests may wave, The waters depth you ne'er can sound By foam upon the wave.
