Excerpt from The Sands of Pleasure When in the pride of life our steps go down And mingle lightly with the unresting throng Of souls released from sense of right and wrong To wear the fetters of our smile or frown, How dusty with the dust of street and town Grow then our garments, and how harsh the song Of voices that once charmed us, when too strong We hear the strains our laughter cannot drown! Yet could we dwell beyond the whirl and moil By some loud ocean shore or mountain steep, And drink the wine of loneliness too deep Ever to thirst again, we soon should yield To easy slumber, drugged by salt and soil, And rest forgetful of the strenuous field.
