THE KINGS PICTURE
BY HELEN BARRON sosrwIck

Il He king from the council chamber
II Came weary and Of Leart
He called to Iliff, tho painter
And spoke to him thus apart
ii I'm sickened of the faces lgnoble
II Hypocrites, towards and knaves;
snail shrink in their shrunken measure,
Il Chief slave in realm of slaves.
Paint me true mans picture
Gracious, and wise, and good;
lowered with the strength of heroes
And the beauty of womanh hood
It shall hang in my inmost oh amber
That thither when retire,
1t may fill my soul with its grandeur
And warm it with sacred fire."
So the artist painted the picture,
And 1t hung in the palace hall;
Never thing so lovely
Had garnished the stately WALL
The king with head uncovered
Gazed on it with rapt delight
I'LL II suddenly wore strange meaning
Baffied his questioning sight.
For the form the supplest courtier's,
Perfect in every limb;
But the bearing was that Of the henchman
Who filled the flagons for him;
The brow was the priests, who pondered
His parchment early and late;
The eye was the wandering mnstrel's,
Who sang at the palace gate.
The lips, half sad and half mirthful,
With ftful trembling grace
Were the very lips of a woman
He had kissed in the market-place
But the smiles which her curves TRANSPORTED
AS a rose with it's simmer of dew,
Was the smile of the wife who loved him.
queen kthelyn, good and true.
Learn, then. o king" said the artist,
This truth that the picture tells
That in every form of til human
Some hint of the highest dwes;
That, scanning each living temple
For the place where the veil is thin
We may gather by beautiful glimpses
The form of the God within"
