Poem May 6, 1922 Issue

[Written for the Sentinel]

Mary Baker Eddy

EARL MC CLOUD

No thought of self, no seeking after fame;
No love of ease or wish for worldly gain;
No goal so low! but, striving in His name,
She wrought for us; nor thought her labor vain.

No thought of self, no reaching out for dross;
No love of praise or shirking, night or day;
No, not for her: she counted gain but loss,
If seeking gain meant straying from the way.

A love unselfed! a mighty lever this
To move the world from out its slothful pace,
And turn its thought—before she came, remiss—
To Love divine, to seek Him face to face.
