To D. R.
August 11, 1903.
I have not much to offer jou, oh, dearest love
of mine, But just the prayer, that God's best gifts for erer uiav be thine.
That sunny hours and every joy for ever may be shed Like a celestial benisoa about the path you tread ;
That trouble, sickness, come not near to dim
the joy of life; That you may walk serene and strong amid Temptation's strife ; That your white soul and woman heart may nerve you for the fiay That surely wpitcth each of us upon our homeward way ; That you may be as ever, dear, a tower of strength to those WJiose loving homage day by day to you, our dear one, flows; That, better still, life's journey o'er, and this world's raoa well ruu. Your ears may hear the biessed words "Servant of God, well done!"
— Omega.
