Poems

To-Day

Dear heart, yours is to-day,Fill it with work;Dream not the hours away,Nor duty shirk.

"Let there be Light!"

"Let there be Light!" this great commandComes ringing down the years;Thundered by God, and since proclaimedBy prophets, bards, and seers.

Seek not the same steps with the crowd; stick thouTo thy sure trot; a constant, humble mindIs both his own joy, and his Maker's too;Let folly dust it on, or lag behind.

True Gain

When another injures you,"Let it pass!"If you hate because you're hurt,Then alas!It hurts to hate, while to forgive is gainTo all who quickly actAnd make the Golden Rule a living fact.

Rest

Rest is not quittingThe busy career;Rest is the fittingOf self to one's sphere.

A Hymn

LORD, I was blind, I could not seeAught in Thy life's sweet purity;But now, Truth shining on my nightGiveth eternal sight.
Now our wants and burdens leavingTo his care who cares for all, Cease we fearing, cease we grieving; At his touch our burdens fall.

I Will Not Fear

What though there be dark, lowering sky?

God's Requirement

We live by faith, but faith is not the slaveOf text and legend.

Teach the Children

Teach the children Truth's pure lesson,Lead them gently day by day,In the straight and narrow pathway,Love illumining the way.

Rules and Lessons

When first thy eyes unveil, give thy soul leaveTo do the like; our bodies but forerunThe spirit's duty.
