Who gives to whom hath naught been given,
His gift in need, though small indeed
As is the grass-blade's wind-blown seed,
Is large as earth and rich as heaven.
—John Greenleaf Whittier, from Tinnevaluna of India.

ONE PATH TO LIGHT
What is the world? A wandering maze,
Where sin hath tracked a thousand ways
Her victims to ensnare.
