At Sunrise—Easter Day

IDA M. INMAN

A first faint beam of morn,A thread of gold,And dimming shadows clear awayTo let the light unfoldA winding trail,Where countless steps still climbTo praise the risen Lord,With love and faith sublime.

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.

The Victor

At Evening Time

As Enoch Walked

Dear heavenly Father, I would walk with TheeIn deeper consciousness of Love divine;Know Thee as ever present Life and Truth;And pass from sense to Soul, my hand in Thine.
