Things that Never Die.

LUG pure, Cne DrlSuC, the DeautlfuI,
That stirred oLr hearts in youth,
The impulse to wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearniny cry,
The striving after bitter hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly words in griers dark hour,
That proves friend indeed.
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens high,
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things will never die.
The memory of clasping hand.
The pressure of kiss.
And all the trifies sweet and frail
That make up loves FIRST bliss;
IL, with firm, uncbanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
These hands have clasped, those lips
have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as IL fell,
The chilling want of sympathy.
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes are bounding high.
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must End some work 10 do
Lose not a chance to waken love,
lie firm, and just, and true.
So shall light that cannot fado
Beam TO thee from on high,
An angel voice will say TO thee
These things shall never die.
