How to Understand Poetry.

SOMETIMES boy or girl says, q
should like to understand poetry; do
not like to read it and repeat it, but 1
cannot always tell what It MEANS
Dear children, some things go under
the title of poetry which are incom-
prehensible to young and old, to wise
and foolish alike. But the way to I'M
derStand true poetry,-that of nature,
at least,-is to love the beauty of which
it is the picture and the song. The
best poetry is simple and natural as
life itself; and by listening to the
sweet voices which are always floating
unheeded on the air, you will feel
what it is, through all your being.
Only keep eye and heart open, and
never let it be possible for you to scorn
or neglect the least thing that God has
made.
Look for poetry, and you will find it
everywhere,-in the fairy-cup moss
under your feet in the woodland foot
paths, in the song of the robin at your
window in the morning, in the patter
of the rain on the roof, in the first rosy
cloud on the horizon at dawn, and the
last that fades out in the west at sun
set. For poetry is written all over the
earth by Divine hand, before it can
get into books.
The Creator is the great poet. All
that is beautiful to eye or ear or heart
is His handwriting. Wherever bud
opens, rivulet slips along it's pebbly
path, or leaf-shadow dances in the
sunshine. there He has written a poem
which He meant should be read with
delight by every passer-by.-LucyL Lar
com, IN st. Nicholas for august.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-08-03
HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND.

HAVING done all, to standr-the words ring
down
TIL echoing corridors Of time. No frown
OF adverse fortune when in tickle mood
No fear of foes that lay in wait for blood;
The venomed sting OF friendship. false and dead
When sorest needed; not the crushing tread
OF bitter grief upon the bleeding heart
Nor yet the great arch-fiend's most subtle dart,
Could from those lips the smallest tribute wiring
That conquering cried, " Oh, Death! where Is thy
sting?
Oh. Grave! where is thy victory?" He stood fast
Through light and storm; finished his course al
last;
And, having kept the faith. the battle won.
Received the crown from Gods Eternal Son.
Should then simply stand my work abate;
Sitidly down. folding my hands. and wait;
Trusting that God will order all things right?
Not So Am not called upon to night?
Something there is to do, for me, for all;
The Christians trumpets to a battle call.
And yet resistance wins. In years long fled,
When Carthage threatened Rome with vengeance
dread
one man, when many others fought in vain,
BY watchfnl waiting a great campaign.
Often or some lone rock amidst the roar
Of winds md waves that lash the savage shore.
with care and skill Is reared the massive tower,
That bold defes the whirling tempests power.
Scorning the foes that in the pillows Turk.
Unawed it stands, and, standing, does its work:
And. though it move not, yet amid the crash
Vi warning elements, the welcome flash
Sends life and hope to thousands.
So may we,
With earnest, patient purpose, steadfastly
Stand and resist the pillows tossing high:
And, as the lighthouse lenses multiply
The feeble lamps, so, though our ght be faint
The young disciple and the strongest saint
Can thousand-fold intensity impart,
Reflected from the mirror Of a heart
Furnished by love from God. Nor shines in vain
II from the deep death of the angry main
One soul be saved, though hundreds, tempest
tossed.
Needless of warning, sink forever lost.
Of all sad thoughts that through the memory roll
The saddest this-I might have warned soul.
80 should we strive to keep the mirror bright,
That DER life's may shine our feeble light
With childlike faith, holding our Fathers hand,
Always look up, and, having done all, stand.''
