SHUT IN
Twas quaint old corner cupboard
Ny friend unlocked one day
We're safely laid away
And ] wondered such things Of beauty
Were hidden thus from sight.
Things that were surely made
For use and our delight
But she said: They are all too precious,
Too fraii FOR careless touches
Too frall for the least abuse;
We keep them here in safety.
Shut in from the dus, and dirt
Shut I'm from meddlesome fingers,
From aught that can harm or hurt

We bring out the brightest and best,
Then carefully take them away
And Place them . among So the br, rss;

The Master think them too precious
For the crowded walks OF life.

From It's trouble and It's strife.

Where they'll shine In His glorious light;
Their names He Will proudly own,
For they've grown 70 His heart so dear.

His keeping them shut In here?
