THIS OLD WORLD OF OURS.-GEORGE W. BUNGAY.

This is a wise old world of ours;

It's endowed with wonderful powers

Of judgment, feeling, perception, thought.
What a head upon its shoulders broad!
How speedy in detecting fraud!
Whenever good gold is alloyed--

The trick in its scales will be caught.
This is a large-headed world of ours.

This is a beautiful world of ours!

Its frescoed skies; its meadows and flowers;
Its forests of fragrant pine and palm;
Its lakes and rivers that seek the sea;
Its billows that beat like hearts set free;
Its mountains that rise in majesty;

Its valleys that rest in peaceful calm.
This is a beautiful world of ours!

This is a critical world of ours;
Praise in its crucible melts and sours.

Few are its compliments; icy cold
Are the words that reach the listening ear
When we bow to catch sweet words of cheer.
Not in this life may we hope to hear
