A Thought

BY EVELYN SYLVESTER.

I sat in my study, thinking,When a pure and holy thought,In the depths of my quiet consciousness,Was clearly and sweetly wrought.

Resolution

BY GEORGE HARRY COMMANDER.

There is hope for the heart that can suffer, There is strength in the metal that's wrought, Though the hope and the tempered perfection, With vintage of sorrow are bought.

Awake, Mortal Dreamer
