Look for one moment down and say to me

That all of loss on earth thou findest to be

Great gain in heaven; that thou dost rejoice

In all that was, and is, and shall betide

At last to all; and that, in Him who died,

Yet liveth evermore, I, too, shall see

All discord blended into harmony;

And that I, too, shall be, as thou art, satisfied.

 PSALM CXXI

INSCRIBED TO MY SISTER, R. S. B.

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;

A pure and fragrant breath

Is wafted from their purple tops,—

The Heaven-sent breath of Faith.

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;

Beyond their shadowy slope

The Sun of Righteousness doth rise

In roseate dawn of Hope.

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;

Around, below, above,
