LIGHT

As when through sullen storm clouds sunshine fallsRevealing realms beyond the tempest's night,Where shines the radiant splendor of the lightThat floods the heaven's illimitable halls,Or, in the early morn, a bird's voice callsTo herald by his song, serene and bright,The coming glory of the dawn, not quiteApparent yet above the garden walls,

WINDOWS OF HEAVEN

If it is infinite, how then controlBy human methods the supply of Soul?

THE CUP

Dear God, the voice of melody is mute!The brimming cup is drained and empty now.

Here in the holy place that Love designs,Thou, God, dost tenderly unfold Thy will.

Let us find in holy thoughtThe secret place,Where light of Truth reveals to usThe Father's grace,

Be patient!Do not fret because as yetyou have not seenGod's plan unfold.

Not what we are by human birthOr race or creed or nation,But what we claim of Spirit firstAnd prove through demonstration.

NEWBORN

Here in our heartsThe Way is found.
