THY WAY

"Shew me now thy way," dear God,For I have lost my own.

"FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS"

Your example, oh, your standabove all variableness!Your light becomes an impetusin my rebirth.

LOVE, NOT VENGEANCE

When in the Adam-dream I seeInjustice victimizing me,And vengeance, in the garb of right,Would neutralize my woeful plightYet trail a burden of dismayNo sentient courage can allay;

AWAKENED

Awakened from the dream of painBy Love's sweet healing light,I look back now with gratitudeOn what seemed an endless night.

THE BLISS OF OBEDIENCE

Into the mountain meadow steps the doe,Carefully testing the scents of summer air,Soon satisfied no unfriendly creatures knowThat she is there.

TENDER PERSUASION

Love comes gently,And with guileless artSpeaks freelyTo the ready heart.
