FLASHES OF THOUGHT.
NO. 28.
0 lightly touch the golden hair,
And gently press the forehead fair
Above the lovely asking eyes
1 hat wear a maiden's sad surprise.
The years their loss and change will bring,
Then closer thou canst press and cling;
The threads that catch and hold the light
Will towards thee creep to clasp thee tight.
And silvery grown will change thy hue,
But thou shalt flash in beauty new
And sit above the older face,
Grown sadly sweet, with queenly grace.
Mary R. Baldwin.
LOVE IS SWEETER THAN REST.
Life brings no burden to be borne so great,
Heaven has no rest so sweet to offer me
That I would seek repose, if it must be
Without thy love, and from thee separate.
Por "love is sweeter than rest," and that estate
Is mine in thee. The fruit of every tree
May turn to ashes in my youth; the sea
May drown my argosies with all their freight:
The winds may scatter in their wanton glee
The gatherings of my early toil and late:
Or flame, or pestilence leave only thee;
I still will bear all burdens, glad to wait
And work with thee, nor ever sigh to see
Leathean rest trom love's sweet service free !
—[Henrv Timrod.
SYMPATHY.
His kindly kisses, tremulous and tender,
falling like blessings on my brow and cheek,
Filled all my soul with such supernal splendor, '
As my dumb lips could never frame to speak;
Nave, aisle and chancel of my heart were lighted;
I he altar, once a-cold, was all aflame,
And where I strayed and prayed, a nun'benighted
Bright, light and plain the path of life became.
His words of sympathy, like sweet bells ringing,
Called every angel in my breast to prayer;
And Hope, the surpliced priest, his censer swinging,
W ith friendship s incense, sweetened every care;
Now all about me, in their graves are sleeping
Forgotten fears, born in my darker days,
And where they moulder, I am ever reaping
The golden grain of gratitude and praise.
And for such fruit, I breathe a benediction
On him the lord of all my earthly love,
For only shall the day of crucifixion,
Upon my calendar be placed above
That day of days, when, from his higher station
He reached with helping hand and pitying eve,
And looked upon and touched, in tribulation,
A starving soul, the world had doomed to die.
—Dr. Clark.
