DARK HOUR.
Against its prison bars tonight
My soul is tluttering;
Ahead there is strange sweet light;
Behind, dark muttering.
Therefore yearn and long and hope
And pine for liberty,
AS in gloomy thralldom grope,
Haunted by misery.
Might | not make here in my breast
A rent with this keen knife,
And grant my soul its last request
Freedom from worldly strife?
Or will it fiutter, gasp, and go
Like some vile earthly thing,
And founder in the crimson flow,
Pinned fast by Deaths cruel sting.
A SACRED HOUR.
| sit beside the happy fields,
And think and mediate:
Around me Evening folds her arms
How sweet to linger late
And listen to the far-away
Low lowing of the kline,
And see them wander lazily
Along the dim skyline.
Today I've been hayward child
And wandered far away
From paths that he would have me
walk
Oh, teach me, God, to pray.
Here in the silence let me kneel
And face the courts above.
OF me make a receptacle
Of virtue, peace, and love.
