Text Appearing Before Image:
pool of the waste to thy lips be made wholesome and sweet ?And cravest thou subtly the bane thou desirest be wrought to thy good.As forth from a poisonous flower a bee conveyeth safe food ? —For this, that thou prayest ill things, thy prayers are an anger-rent scroll;The chamber of audit is closed,—t is a far cry to Heaven, my soul,—Oh, a far cry to Heaven ! Edith M. Thomas. EVE. LONE in the sunrise of primeval day,More lovely than the virgin world around.With fingers pressed on lips that made no sound,She stood and gazed. Spread out before her lay The future — and the clouds were rolled away.The w^ar of kings in empires still unfound,The crash of cannon that should yet resound,She heard, and saw the great v/orld rock and sway. Across the crimson sky above her headThere came a cry of children asking food;A wail of women for the nations dead Went upward to the stars. So pale she stood;Then to some secret place in Eden fled,And wept in presage of her motherhood. W. J. Henderson.
