The Way to Galilee

MAUD E. FERRIS

It was the dawn, silent, and cold, and still,Its stillness broken only by the soundOf little rustling movements in the trees,Where tiny birds awakening, stirred, and calledTheir sleepy mates, with softest twitterings.
Poem

Prayer for Compassion

Compassion wears soft robes of tenderness,And seeks to bless humanity with peace;Enfolds each struggling thought consolingly,And whispers promises of sweet release;Blinds up the broken ones and bids them lookFor comfort in the precious "little book.
