YELL’HAM-WOOD’S STORY

COOMB-FIRTREES say that Life is a moan, And Clyffe-hill Clump says “Yea!” But Yell’ham says a thing of its own: It’s not “Gray, gray Is Life alway!” That Yell’ham says, Nor that Life is for ends unknown.

It says that Life would signify A thwarted purposing: That we come to live, and are called to die, Yes, that’s the thing In fall, in spring, That Yell’ham says:— “Life offers—to deny!”
