POEMS AND SONGS

It is all labor’s dread

Of war’s mad waste and murder,
Praying that peace may spread;
It is all sufferers who heed

The sighing of a brother,

And know his sorrow’s need;—

It is each groan of pain

Heard from the sick and wounded,
*T is Christian prayer humane;

It is their cry who lonely grope,

’T is the oppressed man’s moaning,

The dying breath of hope;—

This rainbow-bridge of prayers

Up through the world’s wild tempest
In light of Christ’s faith bears:

That love and loving deeds

May conquer strife and passion;

For thus His promise reads.

LANDFALL

Awnp that was Olaf Trygvason,

Going o’er the North Sea grim,

Straight for his home and kingdom steering,
Where none awaited him.

Now the first mountains tower;

Are they walls, on the ocean that lower?
