THE FUTURE.

The work of the future! How much it may mean
 To you and to me.
'Mid the wide-sweeping meadows of truth we may glean
Unchallenged, unseen;
 As blithe as a bee.

And then of a sudden, on some golden morn,
 The world shall agree
Of the mother, Ambition, a genius is born;
Nay be not forlorn.
 The future is free.
