MADONNA.
The* Child is the Future incarnate— A Spirit unfallcn and free— The. spotless forerunner of manhood—'Che type of a race that shall be. Oh, white is the soul new-created, By the prayer of a mortal beguiled, And the holiest thing under heaven Is the innocent heart of a Child. And yet to no eyo save the mother's Life's difficult secret is plain ; She has sounded the deeps of Creation— She has passed through the furnace of pain; .Eer soul is the soul ot a Virgin, By the passions of earth undefiled, And the angels in Heaven do homage To the Mother adoring her Child! —Elaine Goodalo Eastman, in ' Harper's Bazar.'
