FLIGHTING WINGS.
The mother eagle wrecks the nest To m; ke her fledglings flv. But watches each, with wings outstretched, And fierce maternal eye; And swoops if any fail to soar, And lands them on the (rag once more. So God at times breaks up our nest. Test, sunk in slothful ease, Our souls’ wings moult and lose the zest For battle with the breeze; But ever waits, with arms of love. To bear our souls all ills above.
