LIGHT

Hazel A. Blackwell

As when through sullen storm clouds sunshine fallsRevealing realms beyond the tempest's night,Where shines the radiant splendor of the lightThat floods the heaven's illimitable halls,Or, in the early morn, a bird's voice callsTo herald by his song, serene and bright,The coming glory of the dawn, not quiteApparent yet above the garden walls,

Let the circle of my loveBe so pure, so deep, so wide,That in its joyous, radiant reachNothing shall be left outside.

IT IS MY HEART THAT SINGS

Although I know no music,No accent weak or strong,The rhythm of the heartFlows out into a song
