And with us it is not day.
John Gkeenleaf Whittier.
126 THROUGH LOVE TO LIGHT.
HIDE NOT THY HEART.
*" I "HIS is my creed, -L This be my deed, — " Hide not tliy heart ! " Soon we depart ; Mortals are all ; A breath, then the pall; A flash on the dark — All 's done — stiff and stark. No time for a lie ; The truth, and then die. Hide not thy heart !
Forth with thy thought! Soon 't will be nought, And thou in thy tomb. Now is air, now is room.
THE RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX.
OLIFE, I hold thee face to fa...ce; Nor move I back one single pace For accident of time or space.
For time and space to me belong, Nor know they how to work me wrong. I wait; for I, not thou, am strong.
Day after day may slow go by ; After the worst that thou canst try, At last, at last, thou shalt reply f X a a S- NATURA NATURANS. \2J No haste, — Eternity is now; No rest, — I will not let thee go ; What thou hast asked, that answer thou!
Anna C. Brackett.
THE INDWELLING GOD.
HE is the green in every blade. The health in every boy and maid; In yonder sunrise flag he blooms Above a nation's well-earned tombs ; That empty sleeve his arm contains, That blushing scar his life-blood drains; That flaunting cheek against the lamp He hoists for succor from a heart Where love maintains its wasted camp Till love arrive to take its part; That bloodless cheek against the pane Goes whitening all the murky street With God's own dread, lest hunger gain Upon his love's woe-burdened feet.
