Song of Peace
In “My Cabin in the Pines," re-!
ntly published ard which is also
given place in her book, the render t
imbibes the dream.ness, the languor,
a he reads:
‘There is a litltc cabin and it sits
among the pines,
And there I love to be at close
of day;
I love to watch the swaying of the
honeysuckle vines,
And it’s there I lay my troubles
all away.
And there I catch the music of the
song bird in the trees.
The peace it brings is worth your
golden mines
I love to go a-roaming, a-roara-
ing in the gloaming
'Round that little old log cabin in the
pines.”
Yet, those who feel the sweet
peaceful thoughts that rise from a
heart filled with gladness, will ap
preciate “In My Garden,” and par
ticularly the stanza referring to the
twilight hour:
‘So, with the peace of the twilight
hour
My heart and I at dusk—
The day’s work done—and both a-
smile—
sure God sits with us a while
In my garden sweet at dusk!”
