THE OLD POPLAR TREES

In years gone by there stood by the
old home row of poplar trees reach
ing from the hall almost down to the
banks of quiet river. They were
immense in size, wonderful in height
They stood there majestic and grand,
landmark for the sailor, pointing
him to the quiet haven where he
might cast his anchor, lower his sail
and find rest. Rest, beautiful thought
and how suggestive Of that Haven of
eternal rest where Jesus is, and loved
ones who have gone on before. And
does it not make our hearts swell with
a longing to be there too, and does
it not make us anxious that others
join in our happiness?
May we not take the poplar as
symbolic of the Christian, ever reach
ing upward, unmindful Of the things
of earth, except their care for earth
may be the means of persuading some
ship-wrecked mariner whose weary
life wasting task has BEEN, to make
ready the port where eye hath not
seen or
ear heard it's deep songs of joy,
Dreams cannot picture a world so fair
Sorrow and death may not enter
there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless
bloom
For beyond the cloud and beyond the
tomb,
It is there, it is there.
