NEVER RAIL AT THE WORLD.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
Never rail at the world-it is just as we make


it,


We see not the flower if we see not the seed;
And as for i'll luck, why its just as we take il,
The heart that's in earnest no bars can i'm


pede.


You question the justice which governs mans


breast,


And say that the search for true friendship


is vain;


But remember, this world, though it be not the


best,


Is next to the best we shall ever attain.
Never rail at the world, nor attempt to exalt
Thatfeeing which questions soeiety's claim;
For often poor friendship is less in the fault,
Less. chargeable oft, than the selfish who


blame;


Then ne'er by the changes Of fate be deprest,
Nor wear like fetter Times sorrowful


chain;


But believe that this world, though it be not


the best,


Is next to the best we shall ever attain.
