THE INNER SPARK.

Beyond the outer pride o'you
There lies spark OF light
That spite of all the clod in you

To lead you to the height.
It matters little what you are.

That spark divine is there,
And If you'll let it burn away.
And never from IL turn away.
Twill lift you from your care.
And place you on the heights OF

Among the shining lights of earth.
A Leader Of your Day,
And on some morn victorious

The case OF the fellow tried In the

love song.
The man finally came down from h is
