PLEASANTLY KEPOHTED FOB
SUNDAY’S CALI.
Os all the myriad moods of mind
That through the soul come trooping,
\hich one was ever so dear, so kind,
So beantifal as Longing ?
The thing we long for, that we are J
For one transcendent moment, '* j J
Before the present poor and bore'
Can make its sneering comment
Still through our paltry atir and strife,
Glows down the wished Ideal,
And Longing moulds in clay what Life
Caryes in the marble Real,
To let the new life in, we know,
Desire must ope the portal—
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is God's fresh heavenward will
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench it that we may be still
Content with merely living;
But, would we learn that heart’s fall scope,
Which we are hourly wronging;
Our lives must climb from hope to hope
And realize our longing.
Ah ! let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moment when we tread Bis ways,
But when the Spirit beckons—
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self-satisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought,
However we fail in action.
-Lowell.
