Awake Thou

BERTHA TRABAND MYERS

Doth thy way seem lonely, tired heart,Thy way seem far from other men apart,No friendly far out-reaching hand,No one near to understandThy hopes, the good that thou wouldst know?

ADRIENNE BARTO

Make straight His road so interlaced,So covered o'er with self;Let me but see amid the gloomThe vision of Thyself,So lowly sweetThat, in the seeing, I may graspSomething of love to help me passUndaunted on my way.
