THE YEARS.
Annie a. Preston, in Springfield Republican.
The years full many a lesson teach,
Tor Time alone commands the reach
Of Gods great love embracing all,
The pain and care that like wall
Seams to shut out all growth and joy
Until we find that our employ
Is sowing in our lives the seed
Which shall help others in their need.
Experience, though dearly earned,
If through submission it is learned,
Gives restful knowledge of the Power
That guides and keeps in every hour;
We learn obedience, love and trust,
Through all the years trust Him we must.
