Be Ye Patient.


Beside the toilsome way,
Lowly and sad by fruits and flowers unblest,
Which my worn feet tread sddly, day by day,
Longing in vain for rest,
All angel softly walks,
With pale, sweet face, and eyes cast meekly
down.
The while, from withered leaves and flower
less stalks,
She woaves my fitting crown.
sweet and fitting grace,
A look Of firm endurance, true and tried,
Of suffering meekly borne, rests on her face,
So pure-so glCrifed.
And when my fainting heart
Desponds and nurmurs at its adverse fac,
Then quietly the angel S bright lips part,
Murmuring softly" Wait" I"
Patience" she sweetly saith,
''The fathers mercies never come too late;
Gird thee with patient strength and trusting
faith
And firm endurance--Wait
Angel behold wait
Wearing the thorny crown through all lites
hours,
Wait till thy hand shall ope the eternal gate
And change the thorns 10 flowers.
