A LESSON FROM A FLOWER

MABEL DOBYNS WEIL

Weary and worn, with care and worry spent,Into the deep and quiet wood I wentAnd lay me down to rest upon a mossy bankWhere purple violets in rich profusion grew,And happy birdsong echoed all the woodland through.
Poem

"SILOAM."

KATHARINE T. PORTER.

"Go wash!" That loving gentle presence leave, which wokeThe only hope he e'er had known—whose actions spokeOf power and peace, whose every tone made his heart yearnTo worship God in purity, from earth to turnTo heaven! His life had known no law—he turned away,In unfamiliar stillness, to wash and to obey!The strange new sense of partial sight perplexed him sore;Lost was his certainty of touch, he knew no moreHow gropingly his way to find—the past to himWas dead, the present vague and filled with shadows dim.

MY BROKEN IDOL

CASSIUS M. LOOMIS.

My days and nights to evil thoughts were closed;I prayed to God aright, as I supposed;As porter at my humble door I stoodThat naught should find an entrance there but good.

Into a desert place come ye apart,The loving Master said, and rest awhile;For earthly hopes and joys have claimed thy heartAnd human ways and means thy thoughts beguile.

THE WATERFALL

BEN. HAWORTH-BOOTH.

My song among the hills I sing forever,My liquid lute I pipe the livelong day,In melancholy mood or glad endeavor,A doleful dirge or rhythmic roundelay.

LOVE

CHARLES JOHNSON.

In error's darkness, not a ray of light;I stumbled on and knew not where to go,While phantom forms of fear's unholy showPursued and harassed me upon my flight:Thou, Love, wast there, and not with earthly mightDestroyed these terrors—bade me stop and knowThyself and Thine.
