EVER-PRESENCE

ARCHIBALD L. VAN ANTWERP.

Midst the sorrow and the pain,Midst the murk and midst the rain,Midst the pleasure and the joy,Giving peace without alloy—Thou art with me!
Poem

Forth like a rivulet flows love unfeigned...

Lilla Ellen Bowley

Forth like a rivulet flows love unfeigned From lofty summits of a pure desire,Where snows are softened by a radiant fire,Then dews celestial on the steeps have rainedAnd springs from hidden depths the light have gained:Down from the lonely peak where souls aspireAnd see and hear the hosts' victorious choir,Down with the joy of freedom well attained.
