If We Knew.

If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor's way,
IF we knew the little losses
Sorely grievous day by day.
Would we, then, so often chide him
For his lack of thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart shadow,
Leaving on our lives a stain?
If we knew the clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling
In our blind and weak despair?
Would shrink from little shadows
Lying on the dewy grass,
While tits only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying past?
If we knew the silent story
Quivering through the heart of pain,
) Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to the haunts of guilt again?
Life hath many tangled crossing,
Joy hath many break of woe,
And the cheeks tearwashed are whitest;
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love toward erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that, when our disrobing spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say, dear Father, judge US
AS we Judge our feliow-men.
