REALITY

MIRIAM ORMONDE SMALLWOOD.

There is no life but God!Across the surging waste of mortal strife,With luring rifts and shoals and glamour rife,The star of ancient days gleams radiant white,And truth, with feet unshod,Soars upward through the trackless night.

Poem

"THE DIAL IN THE ROSE-GARDEN."

BEN. HAWORTH-BOOTH.

I tell the toll of human weal and woe,While the wing-footed ages come and go:When the night dews are shaken,Soon as the sun doth waken,Hasting his footstep o'er the twinkling seaHe seeks the rose and me.

Poem

O heart of mine, keep patience! Looking forth,...

Whittier

O heart of mine, keep patience! Looking forth, As from the mount of vision, I behold, Pure, just, and free, the church of Christ on earth,— The martyr's dream, the golden age foretold! And, found at last, the mystic Grail I see, Brimmed with his blessing, pass from lip to lip In sacred pledge of human fellowship; And over all the songs of angels hear,— Songs of the love that casteth out all fear,— Songs of the gospel of humanity! Lo, in the midst, with the same look he wore, Healing and blessing on Gennesaret's shore, Folding together with the all-tender might Of his great love, the dark hands and the white, Stands the Consoler, soothing every pain, Making all burdens light and breaking every chain.
