THE UPWARD LOOK

Lift up thine eyes!The act alone will give thee strengthTo brave the trying grief-time's length,To meet thy woes,To find a peace 'mid worldly strife,And win the race of human life,In spite of foes!

INFINITIES

A drop of opalescent dewReflects entire the varied hueOf rainbow, sun, and sky;The fine essential fragrance sweetOf nature's perfumed store replete,Is the violet's supply.

RISEN WITH CHRIST

When he, the God-anointed, gently steppedFrom out the rock-ribbed tomb that Sabbath morn,Where'er his foot alighted blossomed forthA virgin lily; thus was Easter born.

PROTECTION

When God leads, though earth darkness shroudWith foemen close at hand,'Twixt you and them His flaming cloudWill never fail to stand.

THE PEACE OF GOD

Under gray skies the wind blows keen and cold—The day is bleak, the world seems dead and old;But all within me glows a soft, strong light,For God is here and in Him is no night.

HEAVEN HERE

When, upward turned our longing eyes,We pray that God be near,—E'en then, while soaring to the skies,Our God is pleading here.

"THE CARNAL MIND"

Farewell forever, evil counselor,Henceforth be separate thy ways and mine.

PERCEPTION

When birds are gone from bush and bough,God's music is not fled;Nor when embosomed in the snow,Are tiny green things dead.

THE CHRIST-DAWN

The Love-light breaks!Across the deep of sin's black nightI see the priceless pearl of lightGleam tenderly with hope's soft ray—The far-off promise of the day.

COMPLETE IN THEE

Complete in Thee, we do not seeThe petty things that gender strife;Broad grows the outlook, boundless, free:Eternal good the only Life.
