Show SONNET TO O'JR FATHER. Dear Lord, thou knowest how I wish to be Thine own obedient and loving child To feel thy cracious love on me hath smiled. To wln my soul and l.eop it close to thee fhat I may thy divine, sweet wisdom see. To l;ep me from all reckless wars and wild. That I may fcel that aatan ne'er beguiled My soul, which longs to righteous!? be free Dear father, even when I erring stray And wander into paths which are nVf ri-ht. Oh. quickly lead me to the righteous way Lre I loss thy inner, guiding light, And cease thy loving vice to e'er obey. But heedless wander' into darks- me night. --Joanna Shepard Lippincott in Weekly Bouquet. |
