JULIA W. MICHAEL.

A world of suffering nations has weighed the might of acrown,A thinking, free-born people has cast the conqueror down:Yet voices, choosing a leader, grow harsh to slander hisname,And holy hearts are broken upon the altar of Fame.

Aloysius Call

A Thundering tone, hard driven down a glen,Broke on the granite at a mountain's feet,And tremulous, and soft and lowly, thenReturned, a finished echo, pure and sweet.

Memory of Good Deeds

Edwin Markham

The memory of good deeds will ever stay, A lamp to light us on the darkened way, A music to the ear on clamoring street, A cooling well amid the noonday heat.

Channing

I am not earth-born.

The Bells

Tennyson

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,The flying cloud, the frosty light:The year is dying in the night;Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
