BLISS IN POVERTY.

[Lines suggested by the history of HeleK Keller, B.A. in the New Idea for February.]

I am not blind, Although I may not share With thee the glory of the rose, Its fragrance and its velvet touch declari The sweetest flower that grows. For me it's mystery.

I am not deaf, Although this ear to sound Be toneless, silent as the grave: Beyond the limit of its little bound Flows music that I crave; And all its cheer I hear.

I am not mute, Though barred from spech, not dumb ; My lips are free to kiss, to smile, To shape the voiceless prayer, " Thy kingdor*

come, Thy Will be done," a while — 'Twill not be long, my song.

Helpless? Ah, no! Though I am set apart, bereft, For this poor miracle of love and niiglit, Treasure surpassing all is left Till faith bs lost m sight, My cross, all joyful, lost.

— Joyce Jocelyk Auckland, February 19, 1905.
