Healing

MARGARET MORRISON

Unto thy door may come some dayOne to be healed; and sense will say:Here is a man by sin insnared,Nothing of evil has been sparedTo make for him full wretchedness,To bow him low beneath earth's stress;Poverty-stricken, ill, afraid,Hopeless is he—beyond all aid.

ALMA G. V. HARRISON

Above the valley, mountain tops show clearAs o'er their summits slowly spreads the dawn;The shadows vanish where the light is born:Lift to the hills thine eyes, and have no fear.
