And guide a wanderer home again。 

    Failyet   rejoice�察  �because   no   less   The   failure   that   makes   thy   distress 

May teach another full success。 

    It may be that in some great need Thy life's poor fragments are decreed 

To help build up a lofty deed。 

    Thy heart should throb in vast content�察�Thus knowing that it was but 

meant As chord in one great instrument�察�

    That   even   the   discord   in   thy   soul   May   make   completer   music   roll 

From out the great harmonious whole。 

    It may be�察�that when all is light�察�Deep set within that deep delight Will

be to know WHY all was right�察�

     To hear life's perfect music rise�察�And while it floods the happy skies�察�

Thy feeble voice to recognise。 

     Then strive more gladly to fulfil Thy little part。         This darkness still Is 

light to every loving will。 

     And trust��as if already plain�察�How just thy share of loss and pain Is 

for another fuller gain。 

     I dare not limit time or place Touched by thy life�此          �nor dare I trace Its 

far vibrations into space。 

     ONE only knows。          Yet if the fret Of thy weak heart�察�in weak regret 

Needs a more tender comfort yet�此�

     Then thou mayst take thy loneliest fears�察�The bitterest drops of all thy 

tears�察�The dreariest hours of all thy years�察�

     And   through   thy   anguish   there   outspread�察  �May   ask   that   God's   great 

love would shed Blessings on one beloved head。 

     And thus thy soul shall learn to draw Sweetness from out that loving 

law That sees no failure and no flaw�察�

     Where all is good。       And life is good�察�Were the one lesson understood 

Of its most sacred brotherhood。

            VERSE�此                 �A CHANGELING 



    A little changeling spirit Crept to my arms one day�此�I had no heart or 

courage To drive the child away。 

     So all day long I soothed her�察�And hushed her on my breast�察�And all 

night long her wailing Would never let me rest。 

    I dug a grave to hold her�察�A grave both dark and deep�察�I covered her 

with violets�察�And laid her there to sleep。 

    I used to go and watch there�察�Both night and morning too�此� It was my 

tears�察�I fancy�察�That kept the violets blue。 

    I took her up�此    �and once more I felt the clinging hold�察�And heard the 

ceaseless wailing That wearied me of old。 

    I wandered�察�and I wandered�察�With my burden on my breast�察�Till I saw 

a church´door open�察�And entered in to rest。 

    In the dim�察�dying daylight�察 �Set in   a flowery  shrine�察 �I saw  the Virgin 

Mother Holding her Child divine。 

    I knelt down there in silence�察�And on the Altar´stone I laid my wailing 

burden�察�And came awayalone。 

    And   now   that   little   spirit�察  �That   sobbed   so   all   day   long�察  �Is   grown   a 

shining Angel�察�With wines both wide and strong。 

     She watches me from Heaven�察�With loving�察�tender care�察�And one day 

she has promised That I shall find her there。

              VERSE�此                   �DISCOURAGED 



     Where      the   little  babbling    streamlet    First   springs    forth   to  light�察�

Trickling through soft velvet mosses�察�Almost hid from sight�察�Vowed I with 

delight�察 � ;River�察�I will follow thee�察�Through thy wanderings to the Sea� ─�

     Gleaming 'mid   the purple heather�察�Downward   then   it   sped�察 �Glancing 

through   the   mountain   gorges�察  �Like   a   silver   thread�察  �As   it   quicker   fled�察�

Louder music in its flow�察�Dashing to the Vale below。 

     Then   its   voice   grew   lower�察  �gentler�察  �And   its   pace   less   fleet�察  �Just   as 

though it loved to linger Round the rushes' feet�察�As they stooped to meet 

Their clear images below�察�Broken by the ripples' flow。 

     Purple Willow´herb bent over To her shadow fair�察�Meadow´sweet�察�in 

feathery clusters�察�Perfumed all the air�察�Silver´weed was there�察�And in one 

calm�察�grassy spot�察�Starry�察�blue Forget´me´not。 

     Tangled   weeds�察  �below   the   waters�察  �Still   seemed   drawn   away�察�Yet   the 

current�察�floating onward�察�Was less strong than they�察 � Sunbeams watched 

their play�察�With a flickering light and shade�察�Through the screen the Alders 

made。 

     Broader   grew   the   flowing   River�察  �To   its   grassy   brink   Slowly�察  �in   the 

slanting sun´rays�察�Cattle trooped to drink�此�The blue sky�察�I think�察�Was no 

bluer than that stream�察�Slipping onward�察�like a dream。 

     Quicker�察�deeper then it hurried�察�Rushing fierce and free�察�But I said�察 �It 

should grow calmer Ere it meets the Sea�察�The wide purple Sea�察�Which I 

weary for in vain�察�Wasting all my toil and pain。; 

     But it rushed still quicker�察�fiercer�察�In its rocky bed�察�Hard and stony was 

the   pathway   To   my   tired   tread�察   �I   despair�察─  �I   said�察   �Of   that   wide   and 

glorious Sea That was promised unto me。; 

     So   I   turned   aside�察  �and   wandered   Through   green   meadows   near�察  �Far 

away�察 �among   the   daisies�察  �Far   away�察 �for   fear   Lest   I   still should   hear The 

loud murmur of its song�察�As the River flowed along。 

     Now I hear it not�此� I loiter Gaily as before�察�Yet I sometimes think��and 

thinking Makes my heart so sore�察 � Just a few steps more�察�And there might 

have shone for me�察�Blue and infinite�察�the Sea。

dark to thee�察�Are shadows hiding light�察�Truth's efforts crossed and vexed�察�

Life's purpose all perplexed�察 � If thou couldst see them right�察�I think that 

they would seem all clear�察�and wise�察�and bright。

That made thee stoop to such a soul�察�So hard�察�so stern�察�as mine ´ My eyes

Heavens themselves look brighter�察�love�察�Since thy sweet soul is there。 

    And if my heart is once more calm�察�My step is once more free�察�It is 

because   each   hour   I   feel   Thou   prayest   still   for   me�察  �Because   no   fate   or 

change can come Between my soul and thee。 

    It is because my heart is stilled。 Not broken by despair�察�Because I see 

the grave is bright�察�And death itself is fair ´ I dread no more the wrath of 

Heaven ´ I have an angel there� �
