Poems

"LORD, I BELIEVE."

"Lord , I believe; help thou mine unbelief"In every enemy, sin, fear, and grief;That monster shadow, death—he fights as chief!"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief!"

"HE LEADETH ME"

He leadeth me—I love the words—He does not chide nor drive;And where He leads, this shepherd good,To follow will I strive.

Within thy house, O blessed pilgrim stranger,Watch well lest error creep in unaware!Hold dear its sanctity,Inviolate let it beFrom rude intrusion and earth's stagnant air!

"GREATER WORKS THAN THESE."

O Bounteous legacy! what promise this!Could we neglect or take such word amiss?

THE BETTER PART

How maz'd and drear, amid his sticks and stones,His color'd pebbles and his bits of glass.

CONSTANCY

Ofttimes the daily current of my lifeDoth seem so clogged with error, that I fainWould break a clearer channel, where the strifeAnd fret of endless conflict, and the painOf beating 'gainst the rocks that long have lainWhere now my way appears, are all unknown;Where, free from every hindrance, I might gainIn depth and breadth, till perfect I had grown.

"AS A LITTLE CHILD"

Remember childhood's ways—the pure, unsullied heart,The ready sympathy, affection, impulse true.

THE NEW YEAR—A FRIEND

A friend has depths of character.

JOY

A full, clear note with the 'cello's depth and powerSounds in the word that means to mortals moreThan fullest thought can tell in verse or song.
