A PRIVATE VIEW.

Sweet music e’er to me appeals And often do I rave about it Yet when I’m busy with my meals I would rather do without it Philosophers do I revere And lam awestruck at their power. - But nathless do I have to hear J My wife expounding Schopenhauer. Ja In poesy do I delight And I pay much attention to it But when my friends their verses write I wonder just what makes, them do < Finance to me’s no mystery, ■ Trade’s not a subject that’s above ms» But why do people come to mo - To try to borrow money of me? Life’s laden with so many woes, " To moot It’s empty of attraction; -31 On every side we notice those 'rS Who view it with dissatisfaction. ' < And yet (all through thoiday and night 'Jg Deep thought to ItlbAVe been glvtaM I notice they all hold M . tight And all of them Insist on living! -'vSH -Nathan M.
