Battling ever Against the strong,PEERLESS PLEADER FOR EACH JUSTCA USE, FEARLESS FOE OF EVRY WRONG. (July 5th, 1915, BRYAN DAY at the Panama-PaciflcInternational Exposition.). A SONNET Ithough I met Thee first but yesterday. It seems to me our souls have ^noipn beforeIn some past age, on some celestial shore. Ere doomed to dwell mthin these prisons of clay. One image ever oer my thoughts held swayAnd I did often ask if eaHh eer boreA being lil^e to her I brooded oer; But years passed on and none did cross my way. But when Thine Angel Face mine eyes soul Was thrilled with sweetest ecstasy. For then I knew that on the earth there dwelledThe Being divine, etherial, heavenly. Whom but a dream though long to think last I knew was a reality. A CHAIN O LAKES REVERIE
