TWO GREETINGS.
Nineteenth Century for May.

Out Of the deep, my child out Of the deep,
Where all that was to be in all that was
Mhirrd for a million eons thro' the vast
Waste dawn Of multitudinous- eddying light
| Out Of the Deep my child, out of the deep,
Thro' all this changing world Of changeless Law
And every phnse Of ever Tightening life,
With this lust moon, this crcscent-ller dark orl
Touch'd with earth's light-thou comest, darling
boy;
| Our own; babe in lineament and limb
Perfect, and prophet Of the perfect man;
Whose face and form are hers and mine in one
lndssolubly married like our love:
Live and be happy In thyself, and serve
This mortal race thy kin SO well that men
May bless thee as we bless thee, o young life
The fated channel where thy motion lives
Be prosperously shaped, and sway thy course
Along the years of haste and random youth
Unshatter'd, then futl-current thro' full man,
And last In kindly curves, with 2cntlcst fail,
BY quiet fields, a slowly-dy1nK power,
70 that last deep where we and thou are still.
Out of the deep, my child, Il out of tho deep,
From that great deep before our world begins
Whcrcon the Spirit Of God moves as He will
Out Of the deep, my child. out Of the deep,
From that true world within the world we see,
Whereof our world is but the bounding shore
Out Of the deep, Spirit, out Of the deep.
With this ninth moon that sends the hidden sun
Down yon dark sea, thou comcst, darling boy.
For in the world, which is not ours, They said
LET us make man." aud that which should be
man,
From that one light no man can look upon,
Drew to this shore lit by the suns and rnUons
Aud all the shadows. O dear Spirit half-lost
In thine own shadow and this tieshly sign
That thou art thou-who wulest being born
and bA1aiSh' d into mystery, and the pain
OF this divisible-indivisiblc world
Among the utmerabie-innunlerablc
Sun. sun, and sum- thro tinite-fnnit space
In finite-infinft time-our mortal veil
And shattcr'd fantom Of that inhnit One,
Who made thee unconceivably thyself
Out of His whole World-self and all in all
Live thou, and of the grain and hiisk, the grape
And iyyberry choose: nnd still depart
From death to death thru life aud life, and find
Nearer and ever nearer Him who wrought
Not Matter, nor the finite-infinit,
But this main miracle. that thou art thou,
With power on thine own act and on tho world.
