THE PRESENT RENAISSANCE
81
Oh, my way and thy way,
And life’s joy and wonder,
And thy day and my day
Are cloven asunder.
Oh, my trust and thy trust,
And fair April weather,
And thy dust and my dust
Shall mingle together.
The Son
Dead at the age 
Joseph S. Cotter, Jr.of twenty-three years, Joseph S. Cotter, Jr., left behind a thin volume of lyrics, entitled The Band of Gideon, and about twenty sonnets of an unfinished sequence, and a little book of one-act plays. I will presently place the remarkable title-poem of his book of lyrics before the reader, but first I will give two minor pieces, without comment:
RAIN MUSIC
On the dusty earth-drum
Beats the falling rain;
Now a whispered murmur,
Now a louder strain.
