_London_ MACMILLAN AND CO. AND NEW YORK _The Right of Translation and Reproduction is Reserved_ Presswork by John Wilson and Son, University Press. Is all our Life, then, but a dream Seen faintly in the golden gleam Athwart Time’s dark resistless stream? Bowed to the earth with bitter woe, Or laughing at some raree-show, We flutter idly to and fro. Man’s little Day in haste we spend, And, from its merry noontide, send No glance to meet the silent end.
