Love's Bounty

MARY STONE WALLACE

IN the eternal good we live and move;
Blessing and bounty wait to be perceived;
While we give thanks with humble hearts, sincere,
For things made visible, gifts more complete,
Joys more secure are on the way to us,
Whose coming undelayed, unheralded,
Oft brings surprise, and all our gratitude
Seems small beside the largeness of the gifts.
