“Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise .
Three times, ' t is said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode
Where hope and he part company,
-For he is grasped of God.
The Maker's cordial visage,
However good to see,
Is shunned, we must admit it ,
Like an adversity.”
