THE SOCIAL CORNER POEM.

Shared. said it in the meadow path, I say 1t on the mountain stairs, The best thing any mortal hath Are those which every mortal shares.
  The air we breathe, the sky. the breeze, :, The light without us and within. Iife, with it's unlocked reasuries, Gods riches, are for all to win. The grass is softer to my tread, For rest it yields unnumbered feet; Sweeter to me the wild rose red Because she makes the whole world sweet Into your heavenly loneliness He welcome me, o solemn peaksI And me in every guest you bless Who reverently your mystery seeks. And mp the radiant peopled way That opens into worlds unknown, It will be ife's delight to say. Heaven is not heaven for me alone" Rich by my brethren's poverty! Such wealth were hideous- I am b1est
 Only in what they share with me, In what I share with all the rest

In Shadow.

God sets some souls in shade, alone; They have no daylight of their own. Only in lives of happier ones
 They see the shine of distant suns. God knows Content thee with thy
 night.
 Thy greater heaven hath greater light. Today is close The hours are small. Thou sit'st afar, and hast them all. Lose the best joy that doth but blind Reach forth 8 larger bliss to find. Today is brief, the inclusive spheres Rain raptures of thousand years.
