Surely then his treasured roses Must have charmed all ills away。
;And he smiled�察 �though they were fading�察 �One by one their leaves
were shed�察 �'Such bright things could never perish�察 �They would bloom
again��' he said。 When the next day's sun had risen Child and flowers both
were dead。
;Know�察�dear little one� �our Father Will no gentle deed disdain�察�Love
on the cold earth beginning Lives divine in Heaven again�察�While the angel
hearts that beat there Still all tender thoughts retain。;
So the angel ceased�察�and gently O'er his little burthen leant�察�While the
child gazed from the shining�察 �Loving eyes that o'er him bent�察 �To the
blooming roses by him�察�Wondering what that mystery meant。
Thus the radiant angel answered�察 �And with tender meaning smiled�此�

;Ere your childlike�察�loving spirit�察�Sin and the hard world defiled�察�God has
given me leave to seek you ´ I was once that little child� ─�

In the churchyard of that city Rose a tomb of marble rare�察�Decked�察�as
soon as Spring awakened�察�With her buds and blossoms fair ´ And a humble
grave beside it ´ No one knew who rested there。

VERSE�此 �ECHOES
Still the angel stars are shining�察�Still the rippling waters flow�察�But the
angel´voice is silent That I heard so long ago。 Hark� �the echoes murmur
low�察�Long ago� �
Still the wood is dim and lonely�察�Still the plashing fountains play�察�But
the past and all its beauty�察�Whither has it fled away�拭�Hark� �the mournful
echoes say�察�Fled away� �
Still the bird of night complaineth�察 。�Now�察 �indeed�察 �her song is pain�撮�
Visions of my happy hours�察�Do I call and call in vain�拭�Hark� �the echoes
cry again�察�All in vain� �
Cease�察 �oh echoes�察 �mournful echoes� �Once I loved your voices well�察�
Now my heart is sick and weary ´ Days of old�察�a long farewell� �Hark� �the
echoes sad and dreary Cry farewell�察�farewell� �

VERSE�此 �A FALSE GENIUS
I see a Spirit by thy side�察�Purple´winged and eagle´eyed�察�Looking like
a Heavenly guide。
Though he seem so bright and fair�察�Ere thou trust his proffered care�察�
Pause a little�察�and beware� �
If he bid thee dwell apart�察 �Tending some ideal smart In a sick and
coward heart�察�
In self´worship wrapped alone�察 �Dreaming thy poor griefs are grown
More than other men have known�察�
Dwelling in some cloudy sphere�察�Though God's work is waiting here�察�
And God deigneth to be near�察�
If his torch's crimson glare Show thee evil everywhere�察�Tainting all the
wholesome air�察�
While with strange distorted choice�察 �Still disdaining to rejoice�察�Thou
WILT hear a wailing voice�察�
If a simple�察 �humble heart�察 �Seem to thee a meaner part�察 �Than thy
noblest aim and art�察�
If he bid thee bow before Crowned Mind and nothing more�察�The great
idol men adore�察�
And with starry veil enfold Sin�察�the trailing serpent old�察�Till his scales
shine out like gold�察�
Though his words seem true and wise�察�Soul�察�I say to theeArise。 He is
a Demon in disguise� �

VERSE�此 �MY PICTURE
Stand this waymore near the window ´ By my deskyou see the light
Falling on my picture better ´ Thus I see it while I write� �
Who the head may be I know not�察�But it has a student air�察�With a look
half sad�察�half stately�察�Grave sweet eyes and flowing hair。
Little care I who the painter�察�How obscure a name he bore�察�Nor�察�when
some have named Velasquez�察�Did I value it the more。
As it is�察�I would not give it For the rarest piece of art�察�It has dwelt with
me�察�and listened To the secrets of my heart。
Many a time�察 �when to my garret�察 �Weary�察 �I returned at night�察 �It has
seemed to look a welcome That has made my poor room bright。
Many a time�察 �when ill and sleepless�察 �I have watched the quivering
gleam Of my lamp upon that picture�察�Till it faded in my dream。
When dark days have come�察�and friendship Worthless seemed�察�and life
in vain�察�That bright friendly smile has sent me Boldly to my task again。
Sometimes when hard need has pressed me To bow down where I
despise�察�I have read stern words of counsel In those sad reproachful eyes。
Nothing that my brain imagined�察�Or my weary hand has wrought�察�But
it watched the dim Idea Spring forth into armed Thought。
It has smiled on my successes�察�Raised me when my hopes were low�察�
And by turns has looked upon me With all the loving eyes I know。
Do you wonder that my picture Has become so like a friend�拭 � It has
seen my life's beginnings�察�It shall stay and cheer the end� �

VERSE�此 �JUDGE NOT
Judge not�察�the workings of his brain And of his heart thou canst not see�察�
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain�察�In God's pure light may only be A scar�察�
brought from some well´won field�察 �Where thou wouldst only faint and
yield。
The look�察�the air�察�that frets thy sight�察�May be a token�察�that below The
soul has closed in deadly fight With some infernal fiery foe�察�Whose glance
would scorch thy smiling grace�察�And cast thee shuddering on thy face� �
The fall thou darest to despise ´ May be the angel's slackened hand
Has suffered it�察�that he may rise And take a firmer�察�surer stand�察�Or�察�trusting
less to earthly things�察�May henceforth learn to use his wings。
And judge none lost�察�but wait�察�and see�察�With hopeful pity�察�not disdain�察�
The depth of the abyss may be The measure of the height of pain And love
and glory that may raise This soul to God in after days� �

VERSE�此 �FRIEND SORROW
Do not cheat thy Heart and tell her�察 �Grief will pass away�察�Hope for
fairer times in future�察�And forget to´day。; ´ Tell her�察�if you will�察�that sorrow
Need not come in vain�察�Tell her that the lesson taught her Far outweighs
the pain。
Cheat her not with the old comfort�察 �Soon she will forget; ´ Bitter truth�察�
alasbut matter Rather for regret�察�Bid her not ;Seek other pleasures�察�Turn
to other things�此─ � Rather nurse her caged sorrow 'Till the captive sings。
Rather bid her go forth bravely。 And the stranger greet�察 �Not as foe�察�
with spear and buckler�察 �But as dear friends meet�察 �Bid her with a strong
clasp hold her�察�By her dusky wings ´ Listening for the murmured blessing
Sorrow always brings。

VERSE�此 �ONE BY ONE
One by one the sands are flowing�察�One by one the moments fall�察�Some
are coming�察�some are going�察�Do not strive to grasp them all。
One by one thy duties wait thee�察�Let thy whole strength go to each�察�Let
no future dreams elate thee�察�Learn thou first what these can teach。
One by one ��bright gifts from Heaven�� Joys are sent thee here below�察�
Take them readily when given�察�Ready too to let them go。
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee�察�Do not fear an armed band�察�One
will fade as others greet thee�察�Shadows passing through the land。
Do not look at life's long sorrow�察�See how small each moment's pain�察�
God will help thee for to´morrow�察�So each day begin again。
Every hour that fleets so slowly Has its task to do or bear�察�Luminous
the crown�察�and holy�察�When each gem is set with care。
Do not linger with regretting�察�Or for passing hours despond�察�Nor�察�the
daily toil forgetting�察�Look too eagerly beyond。
Hours are golden links�察�God's token�察�Reaching Heaven�察�but one by one
Take them�察�lest the chain be broken Ere the pilgrimage be done。

VERSE�此 �TRUE HONOURS
Is my darling tired already�察�Tired of her day of play�拭�Draw your little
stool beside me�察 �Smooth this tangled hair away。 Can she put the logs
together�察�Till they make a cheerful blaze�拭�Shall her blind old Uncle tell her
Something of his youthful days�拭�
Hark� �The wind among the cedars Waves their white arms to and fro�察�
I remember how I watched them Sixty Christmas Days ago�此�Then I dreamt
a glorious vision Of great deeds to crown each year ´ Sixty Christmas
Days have found me Useless�察�helpless�察�blindand here� �
Yes�察�I feel my darling stealing Warm soft fingers into mine ´ Shall I
tell her what I fancied In that strange old dream of m
