INSPIRATION.

1t comes with the breath of a morn
ing,
That greets us with clear, blue
skies;
1t comes in the noon-time splendor
When our world in sunshine lies;
1t comes in the evening shadows,
When people are listening and
still; .
1t comes as we follow the hours,
And we feel its gentle thrill.
1t comes as we follow the hours,
And see what they might unfold,
1t comes as we learn from others,
And guess at great truths untold.
1t comes-and it goes or tarries-
What we call a passing thought;
So hold and let it develop
The good with which it is fraught.
