His true Name being nameless: conquering

Of Loves fair Kingdom, having Faith, which is
nor wisdom, understanding, creed, belief,
Not sinlessness-by Yogis vainly sought
In heedlessness-but earnest will 10 stand
On Loves side; eager heart TO see the Good
And serve the Good, and hail the Light, and
help
The spreading Of the Light; aiming to grow
Perfect as He is perfect So do the
Shooting. stars rays, obeying star-iko laws!
Brighter than what We took from Buddhas
lorel
He babe us spurn Self, set the self aside
Ahankara-seek always TO sink back
Safe 20 the Infinite; and for such end.
Break from the sense, with all its sorceries;
Forego delights, disdain what most men prize,
LIES light allurements tender things Of Time,
Soft lips Of love, sweet lisp Of little ones
Making hearts music in the house; praise,
fame.
The subtle spirit, making good its way
From world of sense and self 10 sefoss world,
Not by hard stress of lone PHILOSOPHERS.
Nor scorn Of Joys. nor sad diSparagement
OF life and living things as shadows vain;
Bnt-nearer road and new,-by heart 20 see
Heaven closet in this Earth We walk upon,
God rlainest IN the brother whom we pass
Best solitudes mid busy multitudes,
Passions oercome. when master-passinn springs
TO serve and love and succor. All! the dream!
Fnll fair. could il but last in waking hours
Could men but hear the Angels song anew
And learn TO sing 1t, making Peace on EarthV"

Its monstrous door. where tread Of guest falls
Nor knock is answered. but the Dead within
Keep speechless company and. IN the dark

Whose fruit they used 10 pluck-for others now
Saving no word. Husband and Wife and Child!
Brother and Sister,-who were want to mix,
Lips. hands, and hearts in Earths warm fellow
Silent and separate. on noisome beds.
Oh, till He lived did we not dread our Dead

The story Of the Crucifxion and burial is
told, and then follows the temperance OF
Christ to Mary:
Then while the first day Of the week was dark
Alone wendell 10 His scpulchro,
bearing fair water, and the frankincense,
And linen. that my Lords sweet body sleep
We'll IN the rock. And, while my woefnl feet
Passed through the gate ana up the paved
Along the Second Wall, over the Hill
Into that Garden. hard by Golgoths,-
The Morning frightened over Moab peaks,
Touched the great Temples dome with crimson
fires.
Lit Ophel and Moriah rosy-red
Made OyCt all gold, and, IN the pools
In Hlnnom laid sudden lance of flame.
And. from the thorn-trees brake the waking
OF little birds: and every palm-trees top.
Was full of doves that cOOed, a. knowing not
How Love was dead, and LIES dear glory gone,
And the Worlds hope lay III the tomb with Him;
Which now spied.-that hollow III the rock
Under the campfire leaves. Yet, no guards there
To help me roll the stone nay and no stone!
II lay apart, leaving the door a-gape
And through the door as might dimly see.
The scattered wrappings OF the Burlal-night,
Pale CLEANS amidst the gloom Not Walllng'
Deeming our treasure taken wickedly-
/ sped; and came TO Peter, and 70 John;
And cried Our Lord Is stolen from His grave
And none to tell where He is borne away!
Thcreat, they ran together, came and saw;
And entered in and found the linen cloths
Scattered; the Tock-bed empty, and. amazed,
Rack to their house they went. But drew nigh
A second time, alone; heart-broken now,
The bright day seeming blacklist night 10 me-
The small birds Knockers, and the Citys noise
Waking within the walls--hateful and vain;
WHY should Earth wake, the Son Of Man asleep?
OR that great guilty City rise and 1--we,
With this dear Lord dead, IN her stony skirts!
Fled too. my last fond hope, 10 lay HIM far,
And kiss His wounded feet, and wash the blood
IRON the pierced palms, and comb his tangled
hair -.
To comoiiness. and leave Him-like King
