NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Not understood, we move along asunder,
Our paths grow wider as the seasons creep
Along the years; we marvel and wonder
Why life is life, and then we fall asleep,
Nut understood.
Not understood, we gather false impression»
And hug them closely as the years go by,
Till virtues oft seem transgressions;
And thus men rise and fall and live and die,
Nut understood.
Kot understood. Foor souls with stunted vision
Oft measure giants by their Earrow gauge.
The poisoned shafts of falsehood and deiisiun
Are oft launched against those who mold the age.
Not understood.
Not understood, the secret springs of action
Which lie beneath the surface and the show
Are disregarded. With dissatisfaction
We judge our neighbors, and they often go,
Not understood.
Sot understood. How trifles often change us.
The thoughtless sentence or tire fancied slight,
Destroy long years of friendship and estrange ut*
And on our souls (here falls.a freezing Might;

Or judge less harshly what they ennnof see;
O God, that men would draw a little nearer
Toone another; they’d lie nearer thee,
