Morning

CLARA LEAVITT BAXTER

Love's Joy

DOROTHY M. KINGDON

As roses from the one great GiverOf all lovelinessReceive their beauty,And, as theyGive out impartially to all alikeThe selfsame color, shape, and charming fragrance,Giving and ever giving without wearinessTheir sweetness to the atmosphere around,So let me also share with one and allThe deep unfailing joy God gives to me,That it may permeate the atmosphere of thoughtWith universal, spiritual tenderness,And bring to troubled senseSoul's dear delight.
