<h2><SPAN name="page141"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>THE CALL</h2>
<p class="poetry">All wantonly in hours of joy,<br/>
I made a song of pain.<br/>
Soon Grief drew near, and paused to hear,<br/>
And sang the sad refrain,<br/>
Again and yet again.</p>
<p class="poetry">Then recklessly in my despair,<br/>
I sang of hope one day.<br/>
And Joy turned back upon life’s track,<br/>
And smiled, and came my way,<br/>
And sat her down to stay.</p>
