Illuminated Manuscript

ELIZABETH HAYWARD GARDNER

Give me the outlook free and highOf glowing sun, of arching sky,Of soaring bird on lifted wing,Of every laughing, dancing thing,From pattering drops to waving grain,From sky to earth, and back again.

Couldest Thou Not Watch?

KATE W. BUCK

"Be still, and know"

Oh, troubled one,Thou art not askedTo labor and to toil,Or some great task perform;But just as Naaman,Thou must humble and obedient be,And quiet mortal thought—"be still,And know" that God alone rules all.
