The Best of Life
Stay! Is the best of life the leaf or the tree I Is it the fruit that is the life that bears fe That God shall see? Is it the foliage of beautiful deeds A Which pleases His heart, A Or is it the sap of the strength, zvhich bleeds H Life’s grace to impart? P’’ ' ' H It may be, that looking from heaven above To the world below, God values the broivn and the bare old branch A With its age of woe A As much, if not more, than the foliage wreaths A Which we treasure so. s —M. LOUISE HASKINS, author of the lines with which His Majesty the King, concluded his Christinas Broadeast Message in her book of poems, “The Gate of the Year.”
