YELL'HAM-WOOD' S STORY

Coomb-Firtrees say that Life is a moan,

And Clyffe-hill Clump says “Yea!”

But Yell'ham says a thing of its own:

It's not “Gray, gray

Is Life alway!”

That Yell'ham says,

Nor that Life is for ends unknown.

It says that Life would signify

A thwarted purposing:

That we come to live, and are called to die,

Yes, that's the thing

In fall, in spring,

That Yell'ham says: -

“Life offers — to deny!”
