Poem

My Song

BY J. H. J.

When the hidden sun touches the mountains afar,Ere the stillness of night has gone;When the silver clouds welcome the morning star,And the darkness retreats from the dawn;Then nature awakes refreshed from her sleep;The coy maiden flowers from their green beds peep;And the twittering birds, and all creatures below,And the star, and the clouds above,Are telling my soul in sweet voices and low,God is love.

The Wall of Self

Edward C. Butler

Mahmout , the Persian, in splendor rareDwelt in Shiraz, in a palace fair;In old Shiraz, on limestone ledgesThat rim the sharp and curving edgesOf the Persian Gulf—the Gulf of Pearl,Whose waves like scimitars gleam and whirl.

Onward
