Nothing but Leaves.

Nothing but leaves! When the master shall
come
To visit his vineyard below;
No fruit of the spirit no life work Of love!
Can it be that our life shall be so?
Nothing but leaves! And the master shall
come
For frnitage when autumn Is here;
But the bough of life's tree will yield nothing
but leaves,
And there will be yellow and sore.
Nothing but leaves? All the soft summer
H showers, I.H-
And the warm, genial sunshine, in vain;
The bright buds, the blossoms of hope.
Are all gone, and they come not again.
Nothing but leaves! Opportunitis gone,
Aspirations all quenched at their birth,
The higher, the nobler, the holier of life,
All quenched in tho rubbish Of earth.
Nothing but leaves The glad summers gone
And the autumn Il coming cen now
Alas for the tree, it shall wither away;
God looketh for fruit from each bough.
Nothing but leaves! A life lived in vain,
And Oh, how the Good Master gricves
To find that for all he has suffered tor us,
We come laden with nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves! Oh, God shall it be
That this life shall so fruitless be found?
No! graft us anew with thy spirit of love,
For without it we cumber the ground.
