HUMILITY

LUCY HOLMAN HINCHCLIFFE.

ALONE! with Thee, O God! O Love divine, so tender, true, and sweet, What, but for Thee, would be my pangs this night! Pangs of regret for that dead past To which we mortals ever cling, Except when, lifted high by truth's fair wing, Soaring amid the ether blue of heaven's own vault, We see the radiant beyond; And know no more the buried past, But to that past our earthly hopes and sorrows fling— Fling as a garment that is worn too long And waxen old and tattered grown.

Come that unshadowed dayWhen naught but good shall be,And mortals, wearily,No more shall cast awayThe blossoms, withered, sere,That but an hour agone,Dew-fragrant with the dawn.
