THINGS THAT NEVER DIE'
7 lie pure, the brig-lit, the beautiful, That hthied our hearts in youth, The impulse of a wordless prayer, The dream of love nnd truth, The longing after something lost, The spirits y earning cry, The striving after better hopes — These things shall never die. The timid hand stretched forth to aid The brother in his need, The kindly word in grief's dark hour Thvt pi oves a friend indeed ; The plo.i foi mercy, softly breathed, When justice threatens nigh ; The hoi rowings of a contrite heart — These things shall neve- die. Let nothing pass, for every hand Ahl'.t find work to do ; Lose not a chance to waken love, Bo fir Mi) and just and true ; So hhall ft light that cuunot fade Beam on thee from on high, And ,ini>el voices say to thee, "The>c things can never die*"
