Poem July 13, 1963 Issue

TENDER PERSUASION

Harriett L. Thayer

Love comes gently,
And with guileless art
Speaks freely
To the ready heart.

No rushing torrent
Nor thunder tone
Does Love employ
To call its own.

Perfect God and man—
Love's tender theme—
Spoken surely
Breaks each fearful dream.

Harriett L. Thayer
