THE OTHER CHILD. : 1 never see a child at play 0 Along some green, dusk-darkened street,' Chasing the flying fringe of day With happy little running feet, But that I pause and think upon . That other Child, Whose holy breath ' Stirred all the fragrant flow’rs that shone Along the slopes of Nazareth. I think I see Him as He stood, The sunset on His rosy hands, Chasing the shadows in the wood, Among the old grey olive-lands. Did He within that whispering place, His laughter on the twilight still, Stop in His merry play and trace, Outlined upon a lonely hill, N -' * The shadow of a Cross? Did He, With Eyes upon the sunset’s rim, Look with an awful dignity Down the long years that loomed for Him? I never see a child at play, >. Along the evening pale and mild, But that I take upon my way The Sorrow of that other Child! Myra Morris. J. McARDLE S Co.
