Poem

Thanksgiving

ELENORA E. PIKE

Oh, lift thy voice to God in praiseFor starlit nights and radiant days,For harvest fields with bounty spread—Earth's symbol of "our daily bread.
Poem

Humble Desire

RUTH D. SMITH

Dear Lord, if mine be not the voice to sing Thy praiseIn mighty anthem whose reverb'rant toneEchoes throughout the sky, and rises higherWith grand crescendo as it seeks Thy throne,Then let me sing, perhaps at eventide,A song of hope, and send it forth to meetThe heart of one whose weary, wandering feetHave missed the way; who through the long, dark yearsNo song of faith has sung to banish fears.
Poem

A Clearer Vision

Poem

The Way

NELSON DREXEL FRISBY

Except your pen should gild a thought with beauty;Except your soul should sing within your song;Excepting that your inmost sense of dutyShould strive the tone of goodness to prolong;Excepting, in a word, your heart's desireWere honestly to give the world its due,Far better, heart, to quench the hidden fire,Than, speaking, thus bring more of ill to view.
Poem

A Weaver

LILLIAN BARKER DURKEE

From day's early dawning till night's dusky fingersLet down o'er a weary world curtains of gloom,A weaver, designing his life's varied pattern,Was toiling and weaving at time's heavy loom;His shuttle was filled with the gay, brilliant colorsOf youth's luring passions, ambitions, and love;And into a rainbow-hued fabric he wove them,With never a shade from the gray clouds above.
