MARTHA.
1 When at the ending of her toil- | H some day, § I She bows her weary head a prayer | H • to say, , | | She is too tired to pray. | i Her knees are aching from the | || hard wood floor f p She cleansed so well. Her hands. | S§ are rough and sore. | | Now she can kneel no more. § | The walls she scrubbed to-day are | 1 clean and white. | i They are her prayers—as shining | I Jn God's sight | H As words the saints indite. 1 I They are her songs of praise, her | H wordless grace., | j And where the clouds- of morning ; | g interlace, | I They have their sacred place. | fiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmiiHiiiiiiiMiß
