VAGRANT VERSE
THE GREAT MASTERS. (Written for the Southland Times.) We read and picture to ourselves the scene, Or lightly scan the page they wrote with care; .But we have never been where they ® have been; So all in vain they try their souls to bare. We do not .reach their height so high above, And for us, perhaps, it is as well; For though we do not feel the joy and love We do not tread with them the verge of Hell. We even read of Christ upon the Cross, Or hear, and, pensive still, we talce our way; But do we understand such gam ana loss, Or were we with Him in Gethsemane? „ _ —-G.R. Woodlands, June 4, 1935.
