Eternal Justice

FRANCES A. HALDANE

Amid the crowded clamor of the way,The noisy mart within the temple gate,—The bickering who will or will not pay,Covetousness that stalketh soon and late,The lust for gain which quickly turns to hate,Or ruthless thrusts the weaker to the wall,While some of justice make a show, and prateThat he who fell no doubt deserved the fall,—O Thou most just, upon Thy name we call!Thou holdst the balance in Thine unseen hands;Be Thou with us when foemen would enthrall.
Poem

Glad Assurance

MINNA MATHISON
