[Written for the Sentinel.]

A THOUGHT OF LIFE

Amid the scenes of that which we call death,
The stronger thought of Life and Truth and Love,
If held through all the clamor and the rush
Of speechless anguish, loss, and sense of pain,
Will keep the heart untroubled, undismayed.
The thought of Life lifts one above earth-mists
Into that realm where light alone holds sway,
And gentlest voice forever speaks of peace
And buoyant hope. 'Tis here alone we see
That Life knows naught of death; it only knows
Love's harmony and Truth's eternal word
That bids the storm of mortal sense be still!
