Strive, Wait, Pray.
1 Strive; vet I do not promise
I sTheip prize you dream OF to-day
l VIII not fade when YOU think to grasp It.
And melt III your hand away;
i But another; and llolier treasure,
! # You would now percliunco disdaint
! VIII come when your toll Is over,
[ And pay YOU for Ill your pain.
Wait yet do not tell you III
| The hour YOU long for now sg
| VIII not come with Its radiance vanished
| Il And Il shadow upon lts brow; tg
Yet fur through the misty future. A
with d crown Of starry Hight
All hour Of Joy YOU know not
Is winglng her silent flight.
Pray; though tho gift you ask for
! May never comfort your fears,
| May never repay your pleading.
| Yet pray, and with hopeful tears.
| An answer, not that YOU long for,
But dlvIner, will come one day;
| Your eyes arc too dim TO see It,
Yet strive, and wait, and pray. f
