The Fault Of The Age
BY ELLA U HEELER WILCOX
The fault of the age is a mad endeavor
To leap to heights that were made to climb
By a bursi of strength or a thought most clever
We pjan to foresiall and outwit Time
We scorn to wait for tire thing worth having
We want high noon at the day’s dim dawn
Wc find do pleasure in toiling and saving'
As our forefathers did in the old times gone
Wc force our roses before their season
To bloom and blossom for us to wear
And then we wonder and ask the reason
Why perfect BUDS are so few and rare -
We crave the gain but despise the getting
We want wealth — not as reward but dower
And the strength that is wasted in useless fretting
Would fell a forest or build a tower
To covet the prize yet to shrink from the winning
To thirst for glory yet fear to fight —
Why wht can it lead to at last but sinning
To mental languor and moral blight?
Better the old slow way of striving
And counting small gains when the year is done
Than to use our force aud our strength in contriving
To grasp for pleasure we have not won
