Three Words Of strenath.

There are three lessons I would write,
Three words as with a burning pen.

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 II 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 az man thy brother call
And scatter. like the circllng sun.
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul.
Hope. faith and love. and thou shalt
ind
Strength when life's surges rudest roll.
Light when thou else vert blind.
