FORWARD 119

FOR A CHARITY FAIR

(IN A COPY OF MINOR PIECES)

eee eS Sree

Some poor man in need

To bless and to feed,

I bring at its worth,

This day of my birth,

A book,—from my youth I must own.
But Who in His power

Gave bud and gave flower,

To bread can transform

In want’s winter-storm

Each leaf that my Springtime has grown.

FORWARD

“ Forwarp! forward!”
Rang our fathers’ battle-cry.
“ Forward! forward!”
Norsemen, be our watchword high!
All that fires the spirit and makes the heart’s faith bright,
For that we forward go with might
And faithful fight.

“ Forward! forward!”
Whaoso loves a home that’s free.
“ Forward! forward!”
Freedom’s course must ever be.
