"There is lifting up"

MINNY M. H. AYERS

She made her way amidst the Sabbath crowdThat thronged the temple—weary, crushed, and bowed;A toilsome climb she'd had o'er steep, rough road,Yet now in pain-dimmed eyes a glad hope glowed:To-day she was to see him—Son of God!What mattered all the rugged road she'd trod?
