HAVE CLOSED THE DOOR

IT have closed the door on doubt;
I will go by what light can find.
And hold up my hands, and reach them
To the glimmer of God in the dark and
call:
I am thine, tho 1 grope and stumble and
fall,
1 serve; and thy service is kind
Il have closed the door on fear.
He has lived with me far too long.
II he were to break forth and reappear,
l should lift my eyes and look at the sky /;
And sing aloud, and run lightly by,
He will never follow n song.
4 have closed the door on glooom.
His house has too narrow a view
l must seek for my soul in a wider room,
With windows to open and let in the
sun.
And radiant lamps when the day is done,
And the breeze of the world blowing
thro.''

Tho paper-knives dance DER the lea
Tho caramels flutter and fall.
Tho pussy-cats slip in the tea.
There's nothing that matters at ALL"
The Owl and The Beetle attend:
They nod and they seem to concur
And now both their voices they blend
In chorus to same. as it were:
There's nothing that matters a bit
Tho weddings aud measles befal,
And many a woe we omit,
There's nothing that matters at ALL"
