Woman and the Home 
From Day to Day. 
GETHSEMANE. 
In golden youth, when seems the earth 
A Summer land for singing mirth, 
When souls are glad and hearts are light 
And not a shadow lurks in sight, 
We do not know it but there lies 
Somewhere, veiled under evening skies, 
A garden each must some time see, 
Gethsemane, Gethsemane, 
Somewhere his own Gethsemane. 
With joyous steps we go our ways, 
Love lends a halo to the days. 
Light sorrows sail like clouds, afar. 
We laugh and say how strong we are. 
We hurry on, and hurrying, go 
Close to the borderland of woe 
That waits for you and waits for me. 
Gethsemane, Gethsemane, 
Forever waits Gethsemane. 
Down shadowy lanes, across 
streams, 
Bridged over by our broken dreams, 
Behind the misty cape of years, 
Close to the great salt font of tears 
The garden lies; strive as you may 
You cannot miss it in your way. 
All paths that have been or shall be 
Pass somewhere 
Through Gethsemane. 
All those who journey, soon or late 
Must pass within the garden's gate; 
Must kneel alone in darkness there 
And battle with some tierce despair. 
God pity those who cannot say— 
“Not mine, but thine” ; who only pray, 
“Let this cup pass,” and cannot see 
The purpose in Gethsemane. 
Gethsemane, Gethsemane, 
God help us through Gethsemane !
