TIME'S TYRANNY

Impelled by youth's impatienceAnd dreams of joys to be,I urged old Time to hasten,—But never hastened he.

When swept death's sable pinionsAcross my love-lit skies,My harp was hushed to silence,While tear mists veiled my eyes.

Poem

A SPRING THOUGHT

EDITH C. CARTER.

I stood alone with the sunlit peaceOf woods in springtime; the warm quiet airLay like a tender presence on the trees,And leaned low down to greet the waking flowers;And all the turmoil of unquiet hours,The disappointed, feverish search for ease,Dropped, like a garment one has ceased to wear,Before the young year's promise of increase.
Poem

FORWARD!

HON. CLARENCE A. BUSKIRK.

Forward! Whatever clouds are overhead,However dim the stars above us shine,We stumble when our steps by fear are led;The only guide we need is Love divine!
Poem

SUNBEAMS

GERTRUDE HARMAN CRANE.

When lying in my little room,My heart would fain be filled with gloom,But for the sunbeams on the wallWhich through the crystal windows fall!

A LIGHT AT SEA

MARIE RUSSELL.

When shadows crept o'er sea and strand,And somber lay the waters still,With head down-dropped upon my handI mused beside my window-sill.
Poem

"WORK—WORK—WORK."*

KATHARINE T. PORTER.

Should we a golden apple seeOn topmost bough of highest tree,Would we e'er heed the height, or strainInvolved, that golden fruit to gain?

TRUTH

MINNA MATHISON.

The heart that knoweth Truth is free!Then I will shrink no more at earth's alarms,For over all is God's infinity,And under all His arms.

THE MOUNTAIN FOLD

ROBERT E. KEY.

The sunlight fades above the ocean bed,And through the trees an amber glow burns red,Tingeing the leaves with gold.

LOVE'S HEALING

CHARLES C. SANDELIN.

A whisper heard at eventide,That bids the troubled thought awake,And in Truth's sheltering courts abide,Illusions dread of earth forsake:Thus cometh Love at sorrow's eve.
