“Dec 20 1931

Life laughs and sighs,
Life gives and takes
A pleasure dies,
A memory wakes.

Out of the Night
Arises Morn
When fades the light
The stars are born.

Life takes a part
To make a whole
And kreates breaks the heart
To save the soul.

A 1929 copy of The World’s Fifty Best Short Novels [In Ten Volumes] Volume Ten edited by Grant Overton.

Found too long ago to remember where or when.
