FAITH.
From the soft South the constant bird comes back Faith-led, to find the welcome of the Spring. In the old boughs whereto she used to < ling. Before she sought the unknown southward track ; Above the winter and the storm-clouds V |M k She hears the prophecy of days that bring The Summer’s pride, and plumes her homeward wing To seek again the joys that exiles lack. Shall I, of little faith, less brave than she, Set forth unwillingly my goal to find. Go home from exile with reluctant mind. Distrust the steadfast stars l cannot see, And doubt the heavens because mv eyes are blind? Nay! Give me faith like wings, to soar to Thee ?
