LATTER – DAY WARNINGS


When legis lators keep the law,
When banks dispense with lolts and locks,
When berries, whortle – rasp – and straw, -
Grow bigger down wards through the box, -

When he that seeleth house or land
Show leak in roof or flaw in right, -
When haberdashers choose the stand
Whose window hath the broadest light, -

When preachers tell as all they think,
And party leaders all they mean, -
When what we pay for, that we drink
From real grape and coffee – bean, -

When the lawyers take what they would give,
And actors give what they would take, -
When city fathers eat to live,
Save they fast for conscience sake, -

. . . When publishers no loger sheal,
And pay for what they stole before, -
. . . But when yousee that blessed day,
Then order yourascension robe !


Oliver Wendell Holmes
