The Witness

ALICE JACQUELINE SHAW

These things have fallen away, and here I stand—The world, the flesh, and all the flesh can bring—And I look down on them as some dead thingThat cannot reach me now, nor touch my hand!Prolong this moment, Lord, ere I descendThe mount; ere lictors of the EmperorHale me again before Cæsar, or beforeThe lions of the arena! Send, oh, sendThine angels once again, that I may dwellIn heaven, and know—e'en in th'arena—it is well!
Poem

Self

LEOTA EDYTHA ST. JOHN

O self, that blindeth till I cannot see;Till pains of sense encompass me!O self! without thee thought might flyOn pinioned wings, to dwell on high.
