In the softly-falling twilight Of a weary, weary day, S^ith a quiet step I entered Where the chil iren were at play; I was brooding o’tr some trouble. That had met mo'unawares. When a little voice came ringing. ••Me is crefpin’ up a stairs.” AM it touched the tenderest heart-string With a breath and force divine, And such melodies awakened As mere words can never define; And I turned to see your darling. All forgetful of my cares, When I saw the little creatare . Slowly creepiug up tbe stairs. Step by step.sho bravely clambered . On her little hands and knees, Keeping up a constant chattering, Like a magpie in the trees, Ti l at last she reiched tbe topmost, When o’er all her world’s affairs Sbe delight eel, stood a victor, After creeping up the stairs. Fainting-heart, behold an imago Of man’s brief and struggling.life, Whose beat-prize must be captured With a noble earnest strife; Onward, upward reaching ever, Bending to the weight of cares. Hoping, fearing, still expecting, We go creeping up the stairs. On their steps may. be no carpet, Bv their side may be no rail. Hands and knees may often pain us And the heart may almost fail; Still above there is the glory Widch no sinfulness impairs * With its rest and joy forever, After creeping up tbe stairs.
