IF WE HAD THE TIME

If had the time to find place
And sit me down full face to face
With my better self, that cannot show
In my daily life that rushes so,-
1t might be then 1 should see my soul
Was stumbling still toward the shining
goal.
l might be nerved by thefthought sublime,
If l had the time!
If had the time to learn from you
How much for comfort my word could do;
And l told you then of my sudden will
To kiss your feet when l did ill;
If the tears aback of the codness feigned
Could flow and the wrong be quite ex-
planned
Brothers. the souls of us would chime,
If we had the time!
