Just a Look

MARY A. MACOMBER

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter.—Luke 22:61.

Just a look, but, oh, the sweetness—
Patience with a brother shown;
Forgiveness without touch of censure—
Fruit of struggles, prayer, alone.

Just a look, but, oh, the glory!
Love, the depth and breadth and height,
Pierced the mask and saw God's image,
Honest, noble, pure, upright.

Just a look, but, oh, the triumph!
Mind always regenerate;
Now, to follow in his footsteps,—
All God's works to contemplate.
