TH~. CHILDREN'S CRY.
I said: '•[ am poor this year, and the war
Is hard.
I cannot give to the things I love to aid.
So tills must go, and this. In the great
discard.
And the children must suffer, too, I am
much afraid.”
But I didn't know how they rry in the night
And pluck at your skirts and mourn.
Bow they rry with the voice of your heart •
delight
And the facet your dead have worn.
There are boys that work all night In the
crystal dust.
There are girls who spin ail day at the
whirring wheels.
And how shall I face my dead with my
broken trust
When the “Inasmuch as ye did It not“
reveals 7
/ couldn't bear their cry in the night.
The clutch of their little hatuU.
I must do my beat with the widow'l mito
To loosen the iron bands.
