Give faith to sore and sorrowing hearts who grieve beside their dead,

And tell them God can bring them back, even as he brought back thee.


AN EVENING PRIMROSE

WHEN all the west is red at set of sun,

And cool airs waken which were hushed at noon,

And crickets chirr and trill, and one by one

The birds’ songs die away to sleepy croon,

And each white lily on the garden walk,
