Poems

An Eastern Vesper

WILLIAM BRADFORD TURNER.

The night winds murmur, the tree-tops croon,The cricket chirps to a vague wood-tune,And dusk sinks brooding.

The Mountain Path

AGNES FLORIDA CHALMERS.

I found a path upon the mountain-side,Winding and long;I found a path upon the mountain-side,And, with a song,Began my journeying.

Poem

Teach Me

WINIFRED BORLEE.

O teach me, Love, to see Thy face,Though storm and tumult rage around;To know where truth is, Thou art found,Thy glory filleth every place.

Poem

God's Goodness

GERTRUDE RING.

God has been good to me.

Poem

Law

WILLIS VERNON COLE

A truth most strange hath been revealed,In our Creator's perfect plan;When willing to become a child,One issues forth a mighty man.

Poem

The Brave Pioneer

Hon. CLARENCE A. BUSKIRK.

The brave pioneer on the rugged frontierIs a happier man, after all,With his thoughts leaping free as the waves of the sea.

Poem

Pleasant View in Autumn

GRACE WHITE.

From tree, and field, and shady nookThe birds their southward way are wending.

Poem

Be Not Afraid

LAURA DUNBAR.

The Love that breathed out "Peace, be still!"O'er stormy Galilee,While error's wave made swift response—'Tis this Love loveth thee,Loveth and calmeth thee.

Poem

Thy Will be Done

ANNIE L. FISHER.

How often, when some cherished wish Love's wisdom has denied, We, in our wilfulness, have mourned And were not satisfied; But when the Horeb heights we gained, Love's wise withholding was explained.

Poem

SEIZE your staff! beyond this height We shall find the Infinite Light! Gird your thigh! this sword shall hew Paths that reach the untroubled blue! Though dark mountains form the stair, It is ours to climb and dare! Law, truth, love—the peaks are three: Sinai, Olivet, Calvary!
