Margaret laid aside�此�Flower�察�or toy�察�or trinket�察�matters not�此�What it was had
better be forgot 。 。 。 It was just then she became my bride。
;Now�察 �I think May knows the hope I have。 Arthur�察 �darling�察 �can you
guess the rest�拭�Even my little Olga understands Great gifts can be given
by little hands�察�Since of all gifts Love is still the best。
;Margaret is my dear and honoured wife�察�And I hold her so。 But she
can claim From your hearts�察�dear ones�察�a loving debt I can neither pay�察�nor
yet forget�此�You can give it in your mother's name。
;Earth spoils even Love�察�and here a shade On the purest�察�noblest heart
may fall�此 �Now your mother dwells in perfect light�察 �She will bless us�察 �I
believe�察�to´night�察 � She is happy now�察�and she knows all。;
Next day was farewella day of tears�察�Yet Sir Arthur�察�as he rode away�察�
And turned back to see his lady stand With the children clinging to her
hand�察�Looked as if it were a happy day。
Ah�察�they loved her soon� �The little one Crept into her arms as to a
nest�察�Arthur always with her now�察�and May Growing nearer to her every
day�此 � ´ Well�察�I loved my own dear lady best。

VERSE�此 �MY WILL
Since I have no lands or houses�察�And no hoarded golden store�察�What
can I leave those who love me When they see my face no more�拭�Do not
smile�察�I am not jesting�察�Though my words sound gay and light�察�Listen to
me�察�dearest Alice�察�I will make my Will to´night。
First for Mabelwho will never Let the dust of future years Dim the
thought of me�察 �but keep it Brighter still�此�perhaps with tears。 In whose
eyes�察�whate'er I glance at�察�Touch�察�or praise�察�will always shine�察�Through a
strange and sacred radiance�察 �By Love's Charter�察 �wholly mine�察 �She will
never lend to others Slenderest link of thought I claim�察�I will�察�therefore�察�to
her keeping Leave my memory and my name。
Bertha will do truer service To her kind than I have done�察�So I leave to
her young spirit The long Work I have begun。 Well� �the threads are tangled�察�
broken�察�And the colours do not blend�察�She will bend her earnest striving
Both to finish and amend�此�And�察�when it is all completed�察�Strong with care
and rich with skill�察�Just because my hands began it�察�She will love it better
still。
Ruth shall have my dearest token�察�The one link I dread to break�察�The
one duty that I live for�察�She�察�when I am gone�察�will take。 Sacred is the trust
I leave her�察�Needing patience�察�prayer�察�and tears�察�I have striven to fulfil it�察�
As she knowsthese many years。 Sometimes hopeless�察 �faint�察 �and weary
Yet a blessing shall remain With the task�察�and Ruth will prize it For my
many hours of pain。
What must I leave you�察 �my Alice�拭 �Nothing�察 �Love�察 �to do or bear�察�
Nothing that can dim your blue eyes With the slightest cloud of care。 I will
leave my heart to love you�察�With the tender faith of old�察�Still to comfort�察�
warm�察�and light you�察�Should your life grow dark or cold。 No one else�察�my
child�察 �can claim it�察 �Though you find old scars of pain�察 �They were only
wounds�察�my darling�察�There is not�察�I trust�察�one stain。
Are my gifts indeed so worthless Now the slender sum is told�拭�Well�察�I
know not�此 �years may bless them With a nobler price than gold。 Am I
poor�拭�ah no�察�most wealthy�察�Not in these poor gifts you take�察�But in the true

VERSE�此 �KING AND SLAVE
If in my soul�察�dear�察�An omen should dwell�察�Bidding me pause�察�ere I
love thee too well�察 �If the whole circle�察 �Of noble and wise�察 �With stern
forebodings�察�Between us should rise。
I will tell THEM�察 �dear�察 �That Love reignsa King�察 �Where storms
cannot reach him�察�And words cannot sting�察 �He counts it dishonour His
faith to recall�察�He trusts��and for ever He givesand gives all� �
I will tell THEE�察�dear�察�That Love isa Slave�察�Who dreads thought of
freedom�察�As life dreads the grave�察�And if doubt or peril Of change there
may be�察�Such fear would but drive him Still nearer to thee� �

I。
Who is the Angel that cometh�拭 �Life� �Let us not question what he
brings�察�Peace or Strife�察�Under the shade of his mighty wings�察�One by one�察�
Are his secrets told�察 �One by one�察 �Lit by the rays of each morning sun�察�
Shall a new flower its petals unfold�察�With the mystery hid in its heart of
gold。 We will arise and go forth to greet him�察 �Singly�察 �gladly�察 �with one
accord�察 � ;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the Lord� ─�

Who is the Angel that cometh�拭 �Joy� �Look at his glittering rainbow
wings ´ No alloy Lies in the radiant gifts he brings�察�Tender and sweet�察�He
is come to´day�察�Tender and sweet�此�While chains of love on his silver feet
Will hold him in lingering fond delay。 But greet him quickly�察�he will not
stay�察�Soon he will leave us�察�but though for others All his brightest treasures
are stored�察 � ;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the Lord� ─�
III。
Who is the Angel that cometh�拭�Pain� �Let us arise and go forth to greet
him�察�Not in vain Is the summons come for us to meet him�察�He will stay�察�
And darken our sun�察�He will stay A desolate night�察�a weary day。 Since in
that shadow our work is done�察�And in that shadow our crowns are won�察�
Let us say still�察�while his bitter chalice Slowly into our hearts is poured�察 �
;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the Lord� ─�

fear�察�Hold your breath�察�For a kingly presence is drawing near。 Cold and
bright Is his flashing steel�察 �Cold and bright The smile that comes like a
starry light To calm the terror and grief we feel�察�He comes to help and to
save and heal�此�Then let us�察�baring our hearts and kneeling�察�Sing�察�while we
wait this Angel's sword�察 � ;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the

VERSE�此 �DREAM´LIFE
Listen�察�friend�察�and I will tell you Why I sometimes seem so glad�察�Then�察�
without a reason changing�察�Soon become so grave and sad。
Half my life I live a beggar�察�Ragged�察�helpless�察�and alone�察�But the other
half a monarch�察�With my courtiers round my throne。
Half my life is full of sorrow�察�Half of joy�察�still fresh and new�察�One of
these lives is a fancy�察�But the other one is true。
While I live and feast on gladness�察�Still I feel the thought remain�察�This
must soon end��nearer�察�nearer Comes the life of grief and pain。
While I live a wretched beggar�察 �One bright hope my lot can cheer�察�
Soon�察�soon�察�thou shalt have thy kingdom�察�Brighter hours are drawing near。
So you see my life is twofold�察�Half a pleasure�察�half a grief�察�Thus all joy
is somewhat tempered�察�And all sorrow finds relief。
Which�察�you ask me�察�is the real life�察�Which the Dreamthe joy�察�or woe�拭�
Hush�察�friend� �it is little matter�察�And�察�indeedI never know。

Look how my Dove soars far away�察�Go with her�察�heart of mine�察�I pray�察�Go
where her fluttering silver pinions Follow the track of the crimson day。
Is rest where cloudlets slowly creep�察 �And sobbing winds
