SONNETS OF LIFE.
A brilliant battle Darkness fought with Light,
A brilliant battle all the living day;
The Sun, awearied in the deadly fray,
Sank vanquished ’neath his armored foeman’s might,
But flung his arms far up the black’ning height,
From the quiver of the planets joyously
Drew forth his arrows, star-tipped, feathery,
