Poems

A Prayer

O Master, let me walk with theeIn lowly paths of service free;Tell me thy secret; help me bearThe strain of toil, the fret of care.

Mental Might

A world of suffering nations has weighed the might of acrown,A thinking, free-born people has cast the conqueror down:Yet voices, choosing a leader, grow harsh to slander hisname,And holy hearts are broken upon the altar of Fame.

The Echo

A Thundering tone, hard driven down a glen,Broke on the granite at a mountain's feet,And tremulous, and soft and lowly, thenReturned, a finished echo, pure and sweet.

Heart's Ease

OF all things good on earth I am most sought, And yet, albeit, I am rarely found; I cannot be with countless millions bought, And bootless ye may search earth's farthest bound.

My Refuge

HARD pressed on every hand, Yet not dismayed.

Memory of Good Deeds

The memory of good deeds will ever stay, A lamp to light us on the darkened way, A music to the ear on clamoring street, A cooling well amid the noonday heat.

I am not earth-born.

The Bells

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,The flying cloud, the frosty light:The year is dying in the night;Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Affluence

The fingers of each shrub and tree,In the dark earth grope trustinglyFor what they need; and He who knows

O Little Town of Bethlehem

O LITTLE town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by.

All is Thine

WHY worry for the future?

The Sky of the Heart

A fallen leaf on a flowing stream,And on the water a moment's gleamOf sunshine—and the chilling grayO'erspreads more coldly the autumn day.
