Poem

From the Hand of This Philistine

ROSA M. TURNER

I hear to-day the echo of a voiceThat rang in Judah's hills long years ago!A slender boy clad in a shepherd's coat,And in his hand a sling: from out the brookThat rippled in sweet purity alongHe took five stones—rounded, decisive thoughts;And with his face aglow, his courage high,He buckled on his armor of defense—The consciousness of God's omnipotence.
