THS SUMMER WOODS.

TpiS Sabbath, and the quivering world, In wild confusion here and there, Hath gone its way, while I, apart, Have sought this perfect note of prayer. 'V’O rustle here of silken gowns; -iA The pines are dark and still and high; • The sunbeams glinting where they will To link my dreaming to the sky. now and then some timid bird, The noon deep shadow on his breast, Whose silent wonder asks why I Invade his holy haunts of rest. rpHESE are God’s columned corridors; x I cross myself, repeat my creed— Eternal power, eternal love, O soul of mine, eternal need! —Herbert RandalL
