GRAINS OF GOLD

I KNOW. When I behold the sun's broad pall) Where no man's feet have trod Among the cloud-hills of the sky I know there is a God. ' When I behold 'neath drifting snows Tho green of winter grain; 1 know a God of might and love Above the earth doth reign. When eager, laughing children pass, On play and pleasure bent, ,i now there is a God above, Who hath these flower-souls sent. And when I see the shadows dark On brows by grief made fair, I know the light of God's dear love Hath surely lingered there. When day is done and darkness falls, And hushed is earth's great mart, Beneath the stars my soul cries out, O God, my God, Thou art !

, — ' Aye Maria.'
