WATCH!

KATHARINE T. PORTER.

If I knew you and you knew me,—...

ANON

If I knew you and you knew me,—If both of us could clearly seeAnd with an inner sight divineThe meaning of your heart and mine,—I'm sure that we would differ less,And clasp our hands in friendliness;Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,If I knew you and you knew me.

Poem

If we sit down at set of sun...

Anon

If we sit down at set of sunAnd count the things that we have done,And counting findOne self-denying act, one wordThat eased the heart of him who heard,One glance most kind,That fell like sunshine where it went,Then we may count the day well spent.
Poem

EXALTATION
