TO A. M. B.
At Canterbury College. There is one woman on whom God hath poured So largely of His spirit that her way Is wrapt in mystery to who obey Thejower laws of earth ; where lives accord With, thrifty counsels, prudent maxims stored From age to age : nor these nor those can sway Her clear-eyed Soul ; but, day in lovelit day, Swift, calm she moves, the handmaid of the Lord. And one who knows her thinks no earthly thing So dear but, if she only willed it, when He hears the world misjudge her, he would fling It far ; and consecrating tongue and pen To her and her alone, live glorying To be but her interpreter to men. — Otago University Review.
