THE STATUE IN WHITE.

''Of marble white as snow:

Before my throne. at my right handi

The sculptor heard the kings command,
And went upon his way;
He had no marble, but he went,
With willing hands and high intent,
To mold his thoughts in clay.
Day after day he wrought the clay,
But knew not what he wrought;
He sought the help OF heart aud brain,
But could not make the riddle plain
1t lay beyond his thought.
Today the statue seemed to grow,
Tomorrow it stood still;
The third day all was Ill again;
Thus, year by year, in joy and pain,
He wrought his masters will.
At last his lifelong work was done
1t was happy day:
He took his statue to the king,
But trembled like guilty thing
Because ii was but clay.
"where is my statue?" asked the king
"Hcre. lord" the sculptor said
"But l commanded MARBLE" "True,
But lacking that. what could do
But mold of clay iustead?"
"Thou shalt not unrewardei go.
Since thou hast done thy best;
Thy statue shall acceptance win
II shall be as ii should have been,
For | will do the rest"
He touched the statue and II changsdl

A marble shape before him stands,
The perfect work of heavenly hands
