Text Appearing Before Image: ely hearts. Some are made lonely by the ravages of death, some by misfortune, and some by their own strange moods. Endearing companionships on earth are rare, yet without them life is very apt to be an experience in isolation of spirit. Many people fail to find kindred spirits, and others lose them after finding them. Satisfactory friendships are as frail as they are few. Broken hearts are all around us: disconsolate Rachel's weeping for their children; widowed women, tearful in their gloom; innocent children crying in the night and crying in the light for the parent that can never return. I'm lonely since my mother died, Though friends and kindred gather near; I can not check the rising tide, nor stay the falling of a tear.

What a fine arrangement that is! Sufficient unto each life is the loneliness thereof. 281 Text Appearing After Image: COURTESY LESLIES WEEKLY.

No more her pennants bright shall wave! No more her lights shall shine! No monument can mark her grave In that exploreless brine. Around her proud and stately sides Deep-ocean eddies play, Where, in the cold and murky tides, Sea-monsters sport and prey. Roll on, O waves! her requiem sing! Keep silence, caverns deep! The while her dead together cling In long and dreamless sleep. And as the future ages roll, Till seas sh Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
