l see my way, as birds their trackless
way;
In some time, Gods good time, l shall
arrive
He guides me and the bird. In his good
time. / Browning.
Round every heart some happy memory
Cllngs.
Some winds steal music from the slack
est strings;
The coolest heart at moments must as
pire,
The stormiest sense hath hidden sparks
OF fire.
All that we ever did were but as dust
Without these simple words-hope, love
and trust.
All from the starry sky unto the clod
Shall whisper of the universal God.
