Three Words of Strength.

There are three lessons would write,
Three words with burning pen.
In tracings OF eternal light
Upon the hearts of men,
Have hope. Though clouds environ round
And Gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put Off the shadow from thy brow.
No night but hath its morn.
Have faith. Where'er thy bark IS driven.
The calm's disport. the tempest's mirth.
Know this: God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants OF earth.
Have love-not love alone for one.
But man as man thy brother call
And scatter. like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul,
Hope. faith and love. and thou shalt
find
Strength when LIES surces rudest roll.
Light when thou else vert blind
