LXXVII.

"What hope is here for modern rhyme?"

Looking at what has already happened,

"These mortal lullabies of pain,"

may bind a book, or line a box, or be used by some girl for curl papers;

or before a century has passed, they may be found on a stall, telling of

"A grief--then changed to something else,

Sung by a long forgotten mind."
