[Written for the Sentinel]

Before the Dawn

MINNY M. H. AYERS

Comes there a time when thou canst see no clearing,
Nor way that seems to lead thee up and on?
When feeble faith doth feebler grow through fearing,
Forgetful of the past and victories won?

Ah! faltering heart, this is the time for knowing
Thy Father's work is finished, lacking naught,
And to His child eternally He's showing
How thou shalt fill thy place that Love hath wrought.

Then rest in Love, nor deem this idle resting;
"Tis active thought that's stilled God's truth to know;
And by this truth, mesmeric error testing,
Shall come the light, thy upward path to show.
