Show .THE RETURN OF SPRING. God is so constant to the earth! Like new flame on an empty hearth He lights the swift, sweet fires of spring For His beloved's comfortinfig, And lo, Joy of the World returns! Light- stepped, with lilies in her hand. She comes to bless the wakening land Oh heart of mine, not over-long Shall we lament our want or wrong. How may we doubt that even thus His tenderness shall comfort us? Rejoice in this glad certainty Some day though very paths of pain Shall Joy of Life come back again! Theodosia Garrison in Munsey's for April. |
