The Potter

I stood within the potter's placeAnd watched him working at his wheel;He wrought with careful skill and grace,The clay was molded to his will.

O love which from the Godhead flowsExhaustless, full, and free,Thy patent purity bestowsIts signet upon me,When harried by the phantom fear,I turn to find the wellspring near.

CLOSE, close to Thee, when seeming shadows gather,And I am weary of grief and pain;I touch Thy hand and all my fears are silenced—There is no lack where Love and freedom reign.

This cherry tree, a few short months ago,Outlined against the winter's leaden sky,Clung to a knoll, all blanketed in snow.

The Vision Infinite

ANNE H. BROGAN

When Truth has swept away the cloudy veilWhich seems to shut God's universe from view,That peace and joy may rest on vale and hill,And loveliness in all the world be new;When Love's clear light has marked the open way,That faith may rise on strong and steadfast wingInto the dawning of that perfect dayWhen heaven lies revealed to hearts that sing;And when the Life that ever lives, and knowsThe glorious fruitage of eternal years,Has pulsed in every heart to cleanse and proveThe fruitlessness of mortal joys and fears,Thus shall the glory of the Lord of hostsShine forth, and all His universe unfoldIn love and beauty to our wond'ring eyes—The vision infinite shall men behold.
