FROM EVERLASTING

Dear child, dost feel too sad to pray?

TRUST

Since Thou art near, O Truth, mistrals may blowAnd blossoms droop, yet song-thought cannot die!My anchored heart no doubt, no fear can know,Since Thou art near.

AT EPHESUS

Again the faces of the careless throngAt Ephesus I see;Again I feel the clutching sense of wrong,Again Love comforts me.

ASLEEP, AND AWAKE

All the world was dark and drear, Doubt and discord, fright and fear; What to do but weep?

ONE LIFE, ONE LOVE

Great vault of heaven, how blue and vast you are!And hoary mountains—steadfast stand ye yet!The trees, the flowers, the distant watchful star—On you I gaze enraptured and forgetThe sordid sense of separation.

"A CALL"

O Judah , scattered on the hills of scorn,Uncared, un-shepherded, forsook, forlorn,Dar'st thou, in this thy day, bid sorrows cease?

Because Thy loving-kindnessIs better far than life;Because my helper Thou hast beenIn many a bitter strife;Because Thy love restrains from pathsWhere sin and fear are rife;In Thee, O True and Tried!"My soul is satisfied.

WITHOUT VARIABLENESS

O TRUST in Spirit, when the twilight darkens,And scenes of daytime vanish like a dream;Love, the unchanging, to your least thought hearkens.

Pass it On

Comes a word of hope to you?

At Last

At last, I saw the light.

At-One With Thee

AT-ONE with Thee, upon the shore of timeWe stand in silent awe, at-one with Thee!And know Love is in all eternityThe only law sublime.

The Swallows' Lesson.

I DEEMED, before mine eyes beheld the light,—When life was young, when I believed the storyOf wise incompetence and darkened sight,—That He, the Lord of love, the God of glory,Was even a tyrant, terrible and gory,Eager to hurl His foolish children hence,As rocks by Cyclops off their promontory,Into the foul abyss of hatred, whenceIs no return, no hope, no prayer, no penitence.
