II needed but glance to see that this

I had heard the voice, took my stand.

and besides, in the daytime, lost great

with curls in the sunny air tossing,
With light in the merry bright eyes.
with laughter so clearly out ringing
A laugh Of delight and surprise:
All friendly assistance disdalning.
And trusting no strength but its own,
The past fears and trials forgotten.
The baby is going alone"
How often the help he has needed
Has carelessly strayed from his side:
The hand Of the loved one to sustain him,
His tottering footsteps 10 guide.
See, he has fallen while reaching for sun
beams
Which just as he grasped them have
flown:
And tears OF vexation have followed
But now he is going alone"
All through life he will learn
This lesson again and again.
He will carelessly lean upon shadows.
He will fail and weep over the pain,
He will learn what a stern world We live in,
And he may grow cold like the rest:
But keep a warm sunny welcome
For those who are truest and best:
Yet not trusting his all in their keeping,
But stronger and manlier grown,
Chastened and taught by past sorrow.
He learned to walk brsvely alone"
And yet not alone. for our Father
The wandering footsteps will guide
Through all the dark waves OF earth life,
And over the rivers deep tide.
Ali here is a strength unfailing.
- A Strength we can perfectly trust.
When all human aid unavailing
The dust shall return unto dust"
