old Uncle David Blake. Well ask

Better THINGS.

Better to feel love within
Than to be lonely to the sight;
Better a homely tenderness
Than beauty's wild delight.
Better to love than to be loved.
Though lonely all the day:
Better the fountain in the heart
Than the fountain by the way.
Better to be little wise
Than learned overmuch:
Better than high are lowly thoughts,
For truthful thoughts are such.
Better to have a quiet grief
Than a tumultuous joy
Better than manhood ages face
II the heart be of boy.
Better death when work is done
Than earth's most favored birth;
Better child in Gods great house
Than the king of all the earth.
George Macdonald.
