POEMS. 437

Yet follow Hin, till thou hast reached the goal

Where He will turn His glorious face upon thee ;
Then shalt thou look on Him, the world forgetting,
Forgetting thine own self—and oh, thrice happy,

That thou canst thus forget, that thou canst die

Unte thyself, and live alone in Him.

Rejoice, my soul, for then —thus say the Scriptures —
His own thou shalt be called, and on thy forehead
The Lord will write His name. O thou frail body,
And O ye furrows worn by time and weeping,

And all infirmities of earth, where are ye?

Changed to the glories of a youth eternal,

Changed to God’s tmage, to His holy image!

See, “ All things are made new” —all save the gracious,
Th’ eternal Renovator of the world.

I thank you then, ye runes, Time’s noiseless footprints,
That bring such kindly message: “‘Time is waning.”

TI will arise and build a tabernacle

That shall endure when Time’s frail tents are shattered :
Then will I strive like holy Paul, and tarry,

“Till we shall all be changed.”

SUMMER EVENINGS.

Eve approaches; cold mist streaming
O’er the earth will gather soon, —

Hide the stars above me gleaming,
Hide the smiling, friendly moon.

Yet ‘tis naught though mists do tarry
O’er the earth before my eyes,

If the spirit’s gaze can carry
All my hopes beyond the skies.

No — earth’s clouds, so dark and dreary,
Me nor fear nor doubt can bring;
