ON THE COMPLETION OF THIS CATALOGUE

-And Friendship, and the Perfect Mind,
And Books, the jewels of the world,

And all the hopes that hide behind

This chaos insolently hurled

About us? Shall I pick and range
In patience, shall I strive to win
My treasure, from the wastes of change,
And all the tumbled heaps of sin ?-

Oh, follow, follow where He goes,
Friend, Poet, Critic!-lamp in hand,
He falters, but he surely knows

The doorway of the Golden Land.
