" ' Hn CoMirrn not I ' She said." Hb never enme whose step and loving call I waited long to hear, But thon Bast com(\ l?ut Messenger of all, A friend well nigh ns dear 1 Peace if not joy I—yot1 — yot peace itself were gain, That must supremely bless Tho soul sore travailed that in vain, in vain Hungered for happiness ! Draw closer, oh, thoii roicoless Gtieafc and pale, Whose drooping torch burns low : Thr face is hia, but through the sombre veil Thine eyes' dark light I know I Nny, closer still I—l1 — I yearn on brow and heart Thy cool, strong hand to feel ; Fevered with wounds, and throbbing with a smart Thy touch alone can heal. Igo with joy I Lead me to him at last— How dim tho path and loneRim, whose far footsteps, echoing through the past, Have never met mine own. — Stuart Sterne,
