TEACH ME FATHER.
Kok Humilkiiof Rome:
“Teach me to feel anothei’s xofc,
To hide the faults I se l ,
That inercv I to others show.
'lhat mercy show to me." “Watts.”
Twss long ago I read these lines
And pondered Ung their memory o’er
Repealing, “Tiach me to feel another’s woes’
For 1 knew It might gladden some life's t b r
And as the.days of my Ute glide along
I ponder, dream oe’r them still,
I fashion the wouis into a mystic song
To cheer some heart through good and ill.
, No star ever rose in the vaulted sky
Hut Bonn where its influence shed ;
Na life can he strong and pore and high
Hut b essings around ’twill spread.
And again these words I say,
With a deeper meaning swee’er spell
lea h me "to hide the faults 1 see," tod y,
Lest oire by the wayside may have fell,
ft'
O friends ble-sSd ! O happy ones
Thy lines are calm and sA-ong.
Let ‘that mercy I to others show, be done,
And flow apart from “pleasures throng.
Yes pure in in t urpo e and nob'e aed true
And c 'm as a str.oth flowing gfeam;
Anil I < ly aid fair as the heavens of blue,
As radiant as the sunset gleam.
viany > re called, but cho eu are few,
To walk to ’’i; straight and narrow way.
Father • hat nieicy show to nA-, 1 sue.
Lest my feet in some path stray.
And when the sands of life are run
Today will te long ago;
As I turn my face to the setting sun.
My heart will throb with joy I know. x .
I'll think of .the days of love and toll
Os the days of prayer and duty
I'll forget life’s cares and tumoils
Ar the future is rebed in beauty.
