LOVE ALONE.

Old Bishop Two met one day,
And went up and down tho lands,
4 stern, SAD woman on her way,
With tiro and water in her hand8-
In this hand wafer, that baud fire
And she was filled with holy iret
"That mean those symbols, Mother, tel7
And whittier go you7'' She reples:
"To qucnch with this the flames Of Hell,
With this to burn up Paradise.
Fear, Hope, must neyermore be known,
But uau serve God through Love aloneI"

For the .eea of silence hovers Ger this hopeless
