whose ministry hearts never grow

That which is still with us at our
eventide: In the shadows that lie In

mate that sits beside us at the hearth

OF the children ava and the land OF
the leal' such a little way beyond
Which will be still with us when
the lights are out; when the last good
night is spoken; when one OF us must
