He Turned Aside to See

FLORENCE KERR WOEHLKE

He turned aside to see,Nor followed with his eyes, or anxious thought,The windings of the sheep of Jethro's flockGrazing at peace upon the Horeb height;Nor feared lest one should stray,Or, timid, take to flight.

Highway

MARGARET L. SEAMAN

Bring low my mount of selfishness, O God,Exalt the darkened valley, till a roadLofty but level, smooth and straight, appears—Thy highway, where my humbled, following feetMay tread henceforth in lightness; where the tearsWill rise no more, and where my soul,Freed from the phantoms of the mortal load,In selfless journeying may find its peace.
