Poetry
KEEP IN THE GOLDEN WAY. There are paths that lead to gladness, there are paths that lead to gloom, Keep in the golden way, And beautify the journey to the land beyond the tomb ; . . Keep in the golden way. A loving word upon the lip, a warmth within the eye, Can send a shaft of kindly light across the darkest sky; A smile may lift the heart that would be ' troubled with a sigh, Keep in the golden way. He serves life’s purpose best who glads the souls of .weary men ; Keep in the golden way ; Make bright the Now and leave with God the great eternal Then; Keep in the golden way. The world is full of sorrow ; passion sows the seeds of pain, But love can rob a heart of sin and hide away . the stain ; Not ours to sift the worldly chaff from his immortal grain; Keep in the golden way. —Selected.
