"IT WILL NOT TARRY"

Habakkuk 2:3

Mary Lucretia Barker Franklin

O laborer in desert land,
Your work is not in vain.
The vision comes—renew your song.
The rough way shall be plain.

The sun may set and earthly hope
Forsake the human heart,
But Love and its expression, man,
Cannot be set apart.

Eternal as Love's dwelling place,
Immortal as the Word,
Exists the great reality
Of love on man conferred.

Mary Lucretia Barker Franklin
