B Y God, I thank Thee who hast 
made 
The earth so bright; 
So full of splendour and of joy, 
Beauty and light; 
So many glorious things are here, 
Noble and right! 
I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made 
Joy to abound ; 
So many gentle thoughts and deeds 
Circling us round, 
That in the darkest spot of Earth 
Some love is found. 
Adelaide Procter.

©HE was as good as she was fair, 
ir None—none on earth above her ! 
As pure in thought as angels are, 
To know her was to love her.
