With noiseless step the angels cameInto my heart at midnight hour;Though they had neither form nor name,With noiseless step the angels came.

CHILD

The thought of "child" is innocency.

GOD GLORIFIED

When we have setSelf-love aside,Conquered rancorAnd human pride,Then our portion—Thought purified—Will crown endeavorWith God glorified.

REFLECTION

Windowpanes will not shineThrough a long and darkened night,But moon and stars and glow of sunMake them reflect the light.

GOODNESS LEADS ONWARD

I used to call the little things I did—Like unseen favors, simple courtesies,The drying of an eye,Exchange of jolly wit for plaintive sigh—Trivialities,A sort of marking time, till grand realitiesMight start my upward, heavenward, climb.

BEHOLDING LOVE'S CREATION

Creative Love, whose radiant power has keptThe spiritual universe and man intact,Would never leave His child in dark bereft,For God holds man in Love's divine compact.

CHARITY

The way was steep and night seemed long,But charity rejoiced,In darkness raised Love's triumph song.

HOMESTEAD

I moved into the light,And suddenly I sawThat house was mine.
