The Bunch of Wheat

We bend to-day oer "a hGllowed form,
And our tears fall quietly down
As We look our last on a fathers face,
With Its tranquil peace end Its patient grace,
And hair like n silver crown.
As we touch our own to the dear, cold hands,
From lifes long labor at rest,
We notice a bunch OF golden wheat,
Plucked as token OF love so sweet
And laid on the silent breast.
Flowers would have whispered OF fadeless
bloom,
In land where fall no tears;
But the ripe wheat tells OF the toll and care,
The patient waiting-the trusting prayer
And the garnered good OF years.
We knew through what labors his hands had
passed,
Through what rugged places his feet,
And we Joyed In the peace OF his brow so white,
AS touched already with heavens own light,
As ftshown in the ripened wheat.
As each goes up from the fields OF earth
Bearing the treasures of II fe,
God looks for the gathered grains OF good,
From the ripening harvest that shining stood
But waiting the reapers knife.
Then faithfully toll, that I'm death you may go.
Not only with blossoms sweet;
Not bent with the doubts, or burdened with
fears,
Or with dead dry husks OF llfe's wasted years.
But laden with golden wheat.

There's a turned-down page, as some writer
says,
In every human life
hidden story of happier days
Ofpeace and strife;
A folded leaf that the world knows not
love dream rudely crushed,
The sight ofa foe that Is not forgot,
Altho' the voice be hushed.
The far distant sounds OF harp's soft strings,
An echo on the air;
The hidden page may be full of such things,
or things that once were fair.
There Is a hidden page In each life, and mine
A story might unfold:
But the end was sad OF the dream divine
IL better rests untold.
