FIAT LUX

ABBY BEECHER ROBERTS.

The eyes of new-born babe, first opening,See not the world, the forms of man and beast,Distinguish not the distances, but bringOne thought by which the new life is increased;"Let there be light,"And on that light the eyes rejoicing feast.

I SAW IN THE EAST A STAR

MARY J. ELMENDORF.

I saw in the east a star,Faint, golden-fair, and far,—Like a tremulant torch on an upland trail,—And my heart to its Maytide sprang,While the mist of its whitening branches rangWith the voice of the nightingale.

Every day is a golden day,...

Laura B. Doorly

Every day is a golden day,With golden blossoms along the way,—Sunshine kisses everything,—Music pours from bird on wing,The air with liquid gold doth ring(Blessings on his caroling!)—And it's oh, to the winds all care I'll fling,And it's blithe and gay that my heart doth sing,For all the world is created new,And all is good, and the good is true—There is gold for me and gold for you;Friend, Love is gold and fills all space—Surely, the Lord is in this place!
