Love is Calling Me

ANNE H. BROGAN

I HAVE walked amid the pleasures Which the senses claim to give; I have tried to serve ambition, With its phantoms tried to live; I have tasted fleshly morsels, And I know their bitter tang— While above me, and within me, Love was always calling, calling me; From the sense-dream, from the shadows Love was calling, calling me.
Poem

Onward

ELIZABETH A. MALLORY

Love led me home; by surging waves I passed; Nor turned I back until I came at last To open spaces where bright flowers grew, And verdure sparkled in the morning dew; My eyes were holden by the dawning day! I cannot dream again since I have found the way!

Time was, when my heart was breakingFor the blue firth and the heather hill,And the gold hush of a Highland autumnWhen time stands still.

"Desire is prayer"*

E. JEWEL ROBINSON

Ere dawn her saffron sails unfurled, Or timid night-wraiths fled away, The penitent looked up and cried: My Father, I would learn to pray.

Stay On

JOSEPHINE HAWKS

O angel messengers that bless,And gently tarry to caress,Stay sweetly long;Stay closely, lest this heart of mineShould so forget as to repineFor want of song.

Ripened Years

MARIAN J. COBB

Christians should ripen with the passing years,Mellow and soften, sweet and tender grow,As orchard fruitage mellows on the bough,When autumn breezes laden branches blow.
