When Love Sways

CHARLES C. SANDELIN

Soft breezes stir, and lo! the solemn dellAwakens as to being: to and froIts mute inhabitants do lightly blow,And may perchance a tale of gladness tell.

Poem

All for Thee!

EDWARD FREIBERGER

When night to morning's beams gives way.

Poem

Oh , the smell of summer rainAs it patters down the dust!And, oh, the thoughts that come againOf verdant hope and vanquished pain,Like fragrance rising from earth's crust,Subdued and wet by summer rain!Who could cherish doubt and fear,When through lattice pink and whiteOf blossoming trees, blue skies appear?

Poem

Arising at Dawn

LAURA GERAHTY

A little burden traveled through the air,And as it flew from troubled heart to heart,It grew and magnified each little careWhich mortal thought had made of it a part.

Poem

The Test

HAROLD SUSMAN

Were actions weighed within a scaleBy Truth, oh, which would beThe proofs that Christ with joy would hail,Of Christianity?

Poem

How beautiful the feet of those...

R. E. Key

How beautiful the feet of thoseWho on the mount of holy praiseHave walked above the vale of woes,To aid the toiler on his ways!—Not on the mount of holy lightTo live alone in calm repose,But ever lifting into sightThe blind, who in a vale of woesAre striving to attain the height,And wrestling with their phantom foes.

Poem

Resurrection

ELIZABETH EARL JONES

Why look we to another worldFor heaven's glory to appear,When now on every side unfurled,Are tokens telling God is here?

Poem

Wayside Hymn

LUCILE TINNIN

Father divine, Thou giv'st our dower:We taste the wine of Love,And in Thy presence every hour,With heart elate, find needful power,The strength that lifts above.
