"LOVE DIVINE."
(By Oliver Wendell Holmes.) 0 love divine, that stooped to share Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear, On these we cast each earthborn care, We smile at pain while thou art near! Though long the weary way we tread And sorrow croiwn each lingering year, No path we ,shun, no-darkness dread, Our hearts still whispering, thou art near;
When .drooping pleasure turns to grief, And trembling faith is changed to fear, The murmuring wind, the quivering loaf, Shall softly tell us, thou art near!
On thee Ave fling our burdening woe, !0 love divine, forever dear, Content to suffer while we know, Living and dying, thou art near!
