Show The Secret of Life The secret of life It is giving To minister and to serve Loves law binds tho the man to the angel And ruin befalls If we swerve There are breadths of celestial horizons Overhanging the commonest way The clod and the star stor shara share the glory And to breathe Is an on ecstasy Life dawns on us wakes us by b glimpses In heaven there is opened a door That flash lit up vistas eternal The dead are the living once more To Illumine the scroll of creation One Ona swift sudden vision sufficed Every riddle of ot life worth the reading rending Has found Its Interpreter Christ Lucy Larcom |
