EACH DAY IS SPRING

MARY ADAMS LEMBECK.

I looked across the vale to whereThe hills rose gently tier on tierAgainst the blue of heaven:New life hung vibrant in the air,Breathing its promise; spring is here,The whole world feels the leaven.

Poem

No faith is living faith indeedThat from earth's fetters is not freed;A faith that builds on moving sand,Thereon Truth's temple cannot stand!Faith in the things the senses know,Faith in this world's deceitful show,Such faith no mountains can remove,And never may Truth's power prove.
