D EVOTIOX'S self shall a thought IVotn heaven; One human tear shall drop, and be forgiven. —Pop,: T GIVE thee prayers, like jewels strung On golden threads of hope and fear; And tenderer thoughts than ever hung In a sad angel's pitying tear. TN vain doth man the name of just expect If his devotions he to God neglect. As earth pours freely to the sea Her thousand streams of wealth u So flows my silent life to thee. Glad that its very sands are gold. LOVE her for that loving trusi That makes the one she loves id faith that's blind in loving; — Sir J. Denham. A love that smiles away all tears, And looks not way beyond these years, To see what love is proving. _c. C.
