THE LIFE BEYOND.
GEHALD MAS9EY. Although its features fade in light of unimagined bliss, We have shadowy revcalings of the Better World in this. A little low vibration in the warble of Night's bird, Of the praises and the music that shall be hereafter heard I A little whisper in the leaves that clap their hands and try. To glad the heart of man. nnd lift to Heaven his thankful eye ! A little semblance mirror'd in old Ocean's smile or frown Of His vast glory who doth bow the Heavens and come down ? A little symbol shining through the worlds that move at rest On invisible foundations of the broad almighty breast! - A little hint that stirs and thrills the wings we fold within, And tells of that full Heaven yonder which must here begin I A little springlet wolfing from the fountainhead above, That takes its earthly way to find the ocean of all love! A little silver shimmer in the ripple of the river Caught from the light that knows no night for ever and for ever! A little hidden likeness, often faded and defiled, Of the great, the good All-father, in His " poorest humau child I Although the best be lost iu light of unimagined bliss, , We have shadowy revealings of the Better World in this.
