Yonder by the river,
Where the ripples sing,
In the tangled thicket
Burns a crimson wing!
Yonder by the river!
We have waited long;
Let us greet the sunshine
With a smile and song!
Life's Eternities.
Who can measure the dynamic force of one small life, or even of its smallest act? Verily, he that plants faith and hope in one brave heart and summons it with trumpet call to the lofty labors of the rolling years, has borrowed creative energies from the treasuries of God and throned eternal might to rule again among the skies!
The Days.
Day-time and night-time,
Bright and black weather,
Life-song and love-song
Blended together!
Sorrow's an exile
At Joy's high endeavor;
Tears for a moment,
Then laughter forever!
