To make one talent shine-a star.

In haste to right life's wrong.

OF untold, unweDt nother-love,
Thy faith, without one fear,
Has garnered of Gods love.
Oh: peace contest
And freedom from all earthly pain,
And supreme loneliness
Through love that knows no gain.
Gods mother love-:
A touch of Gods own love-the soul.
White wings, speed thou through love
And bless his earth-time dole.
Rest, oh frail dust:
And He that, mourns is just
To give thee peace for strife.

able to raise his nose and mouth

The Quail was run down by the
