<h2><SPAN name="page168"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>HIS MANSION</h2>
<p class="poetry">There was a thought he hid from all men’s
eyes,<br/>
And by his prudent life and deeds of worth<br/>
He left a goodly record upon earth<br/>
As one both pure and wise.</p>
<p class="poetry">But when he reached a dark unsightly door<br/>
Beyond the grave, there stood his secret thought.<br/>
It was the mansion he had built and brought<br/>
To dwell in, on that shore.</p>
