Poem

Sight

HARRY I. HUNT

The blind receive not sight: they do not seeBecause they look for light where none can be,Through eyes which suffer blight unknowingly.
Poem

"They shall not build, and another inhabit"

VIOLA I. WELLS

"They shall not build," and lose the promiseOf an habitation strong;Nor shall they plant, and lose the harvestsThat to faithful hands belong;But they shall build, and then inhabit;Great shall be their peace, and long;And they shall plant, and gather richly;They shall harvest with a song.
Poem

Mary Baker Eddy

Poem

Ever Present

LAURA GERAHTY

I see Thee when I gaze above;I glimpse below, and Thou art there;I cannot lose Thee, God of love,For Thou art All — and everywhere.
