Build on no to-morrow, 
Love has but to-day ; 
If the links seem slackening 
Cut the bond away. 
Trust no prayer or promise ; 
Words are grains of sand : 
To keep your heart unbroken 
Hold it in your hand. 
Adelaide Procter. 
* Pomegranate ^lossom - 
)V ATONING, 
REASURE love, though ready 
Still to live without; 
In your fondest trust, keep 
Just one thread of doubt. 
fSNOWBEF^RY Jf^EE -y^GE. 
^HE soul’s dark cottage, battered and decayed, 
Lets in new light through chinks that time has made; 
Stronger by'weakness, wiser, men become, 
As they draw near to-their eternal home: 
Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view, 
That stand upon the threshold of the new. 
Edmund Waller.
