Divine COmpassiou

Long since a dream of heaven had,
And still the vision haunts me oft;
1 see the saints in white robes clad,
The martyrs with their palms aloft;
But hearing still in middle song
The ceaSeleSS diSSonance of wrong,
And shrinking with hid faces from the strain
OF sad, beseeching eyes, full of remorse and pain.
The glad song falters to wall,
The harping sinks to low lament
Before the still uplfted veil
see the crowned foreheads bent,
Making more sweet the heavenly air
With breathingS of unselfish prayer;
And Voice saith: 20 Pity which is pain.
Love that weeps fill up My sufferings which re-
main!
Shall souls redeemed by Me refuse
To share My sorrow in their turn?
Or, sin forgiven My gift abuse,
Or peace with selfish unconcern?
Has sanity ease no pitying care?
Has faith no work and love no prayer?
While sin remains and souls in darkness dwell
Can heaven be heaven itself and look unmoved OF
hell?''
Then through the Gates of Pain I dream
A wind of heaven blows coolly in;
Fainter the awful discords seem,
The smoke of torment grows more thin
Tears quench the burning soil, and thence
Spring sweet, pale flowers of penitence;
And through the dreary realm of mans despair,
Star-crowned, angel walks, and 10! Gods hop
is there,
Is it dream: Is heaven SO high
That pity cannot breathe its air?
Its happy eyes forever dry.
Its holy lips without a prayer?
Ny God my God! if thither led
By Thy free grace unmerited
No crown palm be mine, but let me keep
A heart that still can feel and eyes that still cal
weep.
