Excerpt from Poems

With pride, with love, I dedicate my book, To one, world-known, and tenderly revered I am, at best, a lowly murmuring brook, Lost sight of when the broad, deep ocean's near'd. Yet have I dipt my urn in Nature's waves, I draw it forth from the rich streams of Truth, To win young feet unto the tide that saves, Bright for the eyes of innocence and youth. I fain would sing soft music, sweetest, best An altar raise for Life, in life' 8 fair morn; Would make more clear the path that leads to rest, Yea, from the cradle of the child new born And the declivity that leads to death Embalm with teachings from our_saviou r' s breath.
