WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE?

CASSIUS M. LOOMIS.

What seekest thou, my friend? You say
That you are ill, have lost your way
Across the thorny lea;
And that you crave your place again
Among the busy haunts of men
From pain and sorrows free.

The end you seek is just; but wait!
Suppose anon the pearly gate
Of Love should swing aside
And give you entrance to a wealth
Of conscious joy and supple health,
And more than these beside;

What would you give? Think twice. You say
Your hopes grow less from day to day,
And ills have come in twain.
What would you give from out your store
If Love should open wide your door
To perfect health again?
