GETHSEMANE

In golden youth when seems the earth
A summerland of singing mirth.
When souls are glad and hearts are light
And not a shadow turks in sight.
We do not know It, but there lies.
Somewhere yelled under evening skies
A garden which we all must see
The garden OF Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways,
Love lends halo to our days
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar
We laugh and say how strong we are
We hurry on; and hurrying go
Close to the border land of woe
That waits for you, and waits for me-
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes. across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams,
Behind the misty caps OF years.
Beyond the great salt fount OF tears
The garden lies Strive as you may,
You cannot miss II on your way
All paths that have been or shall be
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane.
All those who journey, soon or late
Must pass within the garden gate
Must kneel alone in darkness there
And battle with some fierce despair
God pity those who cannot say,
mot mine hut Thine who only pray.
LET this cup pass" and cannot see
The purpose of Gethsemane.
