The Christian Science Reading Room

ALFRED GORDON

O quiet shelter from the heat of day,
Where weary ones athirst may come and drink
The living waters flowing peacefully,
And gain fresh views of how to work and think!
And then, refreshed, they sally forth to fight
Anew life's battle, primed for victory
O'er every ill that would obscure the sight
Of heaven now and here eternally.

Many who read within thy sheltered walls
Day after day, and grapple with some load,
Or soon or late a miracle befalls
That makes them rise and seek the open road
Of high endeavor! Happy they who find
Oasis here from earth's incessant strife—
For them rich blessings from immortal Mind,
Unfolding days of Truth and Love and Life!
