LIFE IS A FIRE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH IF E Is a fire, and memory the em bers. be Joy or pain that one remem bers. A little while the fire flames and flashes; It shall not be long before It all Is ashes. We would not care If care would soon be over; Alas, the world has many a weary rover Within whose heart, If going or re turning. Some ancient hurt keeps on forever burning. L If it Yet love was ours, and home, and happy faces. Yes, Joy was ours in other times and places. Love quickly flames, and nothing flames so brightly, Or fades so swm, if love has loved too lightly. We can't forget that some old vow was broken— Let us recall at least the vow was spoken. Tbe hand of time In time the hart would soften— Perhays we stir the fires of hate too often. Life is a fire, and memory the em bers, I f It be joy or pain that one remem bers. I f It be pain, then leave the past to perish, I f it be Joy, rekindle and recherish. L ife is a fire, and mortals must rebuild it, Not with the pain but with the Joy that filled IL The coals of hate are not the coals for blowing. But keep your hope, your faith, for ever glowing. <«. 1131 Deuel*« Hallock- *— W N I' H<-rvlra D a n t e ’s H ig h P o e tic R a n k Dante, in his writings, summed up the thought and the spirit of the Mid dle ages.
