Our soon choked souls to fill.

But each day brings from its pretty dust
Our soon choked souls to fill.

Journalism is literature in a hurry.

And see all sights from pole to pole
And glance, and nod, and bustle by,
And never read more

And see all sights from pole to pole
And glance, and nod, and bustle by,
And never once possess our soul
Before we die.
