AS Your Hair Grows WhiteR
To MRS w. c. W., Tremonton, Ut
I am happy to print the beautiful little
song you requested some time ago. as
several have responded to the request
for 1t.
THE BROKEN PINION
I walked through the woodland
meadows,
Where sweet the rushes sang;
And l found on bed of mosses
A bird with broken wing:
l healed it's wound, and each morning
1t sang its old sweet strain,
But the bird with the broken pinion
Never scared as high again.
1 found a young life broken
BY sins seductive art;
And, touched with Christ-like pity,
l took him to my heart.
He lived with a noble purpose
And struggled not in vain;
But the life that sin had stricken
Never scared as high again.
But the bird with the broken pinion
Kept another from the snare;
And the life that sin had stricken
Raised another from despair.
Each loss has its compensation,
There is healing for every pain;
But the bird with a broken Pinion
Never scars as high again.
To MARY ELLEN, Sheridan. Ore
And now through the kindness of an
other reader / am enabled to print the
words to your song and l am sure all
the readers will enjoy 1t.
THE COTTAGE BY THE SEA
Childhoods days now pass before me,
Forms and scenes of long ago,
Like a dream they hover Ger me,
"a hrf evening
Days that knew no shade of sorrow,
When my young heart, pure and free,
Joyful haild each coming morrow
In the cottage by the sea.
Fancy sees the rose-trees twining.
Round the old and rustic door;
And, below, the white beach shining,
Where l gathered shells of yore;
Hears my mothers gentle warning,
AS she took me on her knee;
And 1 feel again life's morning
In the cottage by the sea.
What though years have rolrd above
Though mid fairer scenes 1 roam,
Yet l ne'er shall cease to love thee,
Childhood's dear and happy home!
And when life's long day is closing,
Oil how pleasant would 1t be.
On some faithful breast reposing,
