POETRY.

From the Round Tablet
THE HEAVENLY SECRET.
Does the dark and soundessriver
Stretch 80 wide,
over which have crossed
Our loved and early lost,
That their unsealod eyes may never see
The further side
Where sin amid this coil and misery
WehideY
Is the realm Of their transition
Close at hand
To this our living land
Nearer than we dreamy
Can they watch the CLEAN -. .
OF our SMILES and hear the words VIC SPEAK
And losEins deeper than our eyes may seok'
Our needsr
Do thoy minslcin our gladnessy
Do they grieve
When the ways Of good We leaveY
Do they know each thought and hope
While we 10 shadows Kroper
Can they hear the futures high behest'
Yet lack the power .
To lead US from our i'll, or to arrest
The hourY
When they find US bowed in sorrow
Do they Sigh
Or when earth passes by
For them, DO they forget
The cares that here beset
Their well belovedY Or do they wait
90 be IL thus
And watch beside the golden cato
For US
We are yearning for their secret;
Though We call
No answers ever fall
Upon our dullard ears
To quell our namelsss fears.
Yet God is DER all, whateer may be,
And trusting so,
Patience my heart little while and we
Shall know.
