And hear our Father, bending for a kiss,

Whisper to thee, the secrets of His heart!

THE CAMP FIRE

Beauty is love and, hence is heightening fire,

Consuming Nature. All the dark can bring

To quench it, feeds it. Look! how everything

Is caught in the blaze, which mounts up high and higher!

Oh! truly, 'tis a vision to inspire
