WITHIN THY HOUSE

MARION COOK

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!

CONSTANCY

MARY I. MESECHRE.

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.
