TOEM. oo 



Laying her wealth uncounted at our feet ! — 



Who, living out his peaceful life among 



Scenes such as these, more eloquent than tongue 



Of priest or prelate, who, if he be wise 



To learn the lessons set before his eyes, 



But shall imbibe the wisdom they impart, 



And win the blessing of the " pure in heart !" — 



Such as " see God," — see him not only there, 



In His dear, far-off heaven, but everywhere : 



In the bright glancing of the robin's wing, 



As in a planet's steady, ceaseless swing ; 



In the small mercies of the passing years, 



As in* the forces which control the spheres ; 



In little, household trials, wisely sent, 



As in the pangs which rend a continent ; 



In every strange vicissitude of earth, 



In smiling plenty and in direful dearth ; 



See Him in all His gracious hand has sent 



Of joy and sorrow mercifully blent, 



And seeing, love, and loving, be content !
