OH HEART, BE QUIET.
Oh Heart, bs quiet for the soke of FaithRest for 'R lonely hour, * Content until her beauty wakeneth, Knowing so well She was r. flower Gathered too coon because of a sweet erne'!
Yet bo not angry that you gathered her Before her perfect prime. Summer's suuglnvo might so have withered her That sho had died • J ' TO rainin S time; Then might you well have been unsatisfied.
But now your thoughts shall be a kinder sun, lour sorrows a. soft rain, A »d ?t ,y°ur songs even the poorest one Shall bo a dew To make again Her cvrry essence rarefied anew. Edward L, Davison.
