What might have been? Hast then then

That taught thee truiama from day to day?
Ah well, 'tin h o with man: a constant war
Of mind against the inevitable.
Bright visions of the future, then the

Will change- n retrospect unprofitable,
Ending with that sad sigh, it might have
been.
Man is the child of ciucurustarfces; prone
To indulge in phantasies of bruin:
Anon, his castles in the air, have flown,
And left him nothing but a conscious pain;
Pluced iu whnteVr position, still he drinks
The bitter dregs of disappointment keen;
His darling project launched, behold it
sinkh—
No solace left, but that, it mifihl have
been.
The weary wanderer thro' this world of woo,
Bereft of all thut makes existence dear,
No loving heart to cherish, doomed to go y j
Alone! Alas, it makes life's journey drear.
But still, the true, the calm, reflective mind,
From out tho desert will pluck something
green;
Beset with thorns, mayhap a flower 'twill

And pay no heed to that which might
have been.
