It is a school Where the rich in power rule; Where the poor oft' groan in pain, Worn in body, wracked in brain. It's a scene of changing powers, Happy and unhappy hours. Joy is felt, but soon is gone, Every change is hurried on. Life's a garden we may sow With the seeds of bliss or woe. Weeds will spring or fragrant flowers What we cultivate is ours. W. W. BURTON.
