If once at bay I touched a crime In boyhfiod, hot-head, needless time, And all my neighbors rang the chime! Wherever I might wander, Do you believe I could outlive Or that my neighbors would forgive That stretching stain of slander? Do you believe thot I could rise And, by my doughty deeds and wise, Wash out that blot, I wonder? Or, if I strived In doing good, And saving all the souls I could Wherever I might wander, ' Would that one stain upon my name Outweigh my labor and my fame? Alas, you know it would! - "Would, all my struggles, all my tears, For days and nights, for months, for years, Be ever understood? My sorrow and my piteous prayer Might reach Almighty's gracious ear, But would my neighbor hear? O gentle kind! O kind mankind! O thieves and liars, deaf and blind, But never, never dumb. O beasts that drabble in your pen, And beasts that wear the garb of men, What lionor to "be one! Could I haye hid that early crime And turned my sycophantine chime o key with pleasing lies. And stuff beast's loathsome belly-full And pat his elephantine hull Or please his amorous eyes: How good were I! How wise were I! How well I'd live! How damned I'd die! w w The Held Band concert last Sunday evening was an unqualified success with honors shared alike by the clever people in the Orpheus company, com-pany, and Mr. Held and his band. From point oT numbers and enthusiasm "this" concert was probably prob-ably the most gratifying of the season series, and Held's band has surely caught the town. |
