[Written for the Sentinel.]

O Guiding Love

GERTRUDE RING

One there was told me that the polar star
Stands sentinel by day as well as night,
Drawing the needle of the mariner
To guide him when he may not see its light.

Taught me of seeds, long centuries entombed,
That yet respond unto the soil and sun;
That send forth tender leaf and flower perfumed,
As ages past the parent plant had done.

O guiding Love divine, O wondrous power
Which conquers time and overleaps all space,
Thou vital Principle of star and flower.
Hold all Thy children in Thy close embrace!
