Show Amateur Photography. Lt others sir.g of joys of song. The pleasures tliat the canvas yields, The music of the woodland throng, The dear delight of streams and fields! The Joys of love and lovers' pain, These mar not my biography. For I have touched life's deepest gain In amateur photography. For me the hyposulphites bloom. s The goiilen chloride brightly gleams, And in the sacred darkened room The sodium crystals star my dreams; De '.opers my spirit bless; Iviy porcelain dishes are my pride; I am new-born since I possess Ammonium suiphocyanide. I photograph with joyous zeal, And then implore my filmy prize In rosy darkness to reveal lis charming secrets to my eyes; And then oh. joy desired and dear! The film responds as I implore; I see the pictured face appear And wonder who I meant it for! O you with sorrow-laden heart, Sick of yci:r r.'.a.ny changing cults. No other ciui'., no other arc. Yields such as.o;ushing results. O weary v. o. Id.ir.g, empty soul. So long by doubts and leavs distressed, Leaye love and fame to fate's control, And buy a kouuK and be biest! |
