PEBBLES AND SHELLS
THE HEIGHTS AND THE DEPTHS
I would not live upon one changeless plain,
With joy or sorrow evermore to reign;
As blood is darker on the spotless snow,
So joy is sweeter in the cup of woe.

GOD'S LOVE
As tireless as the rivers move
That water vale and lea,
So flows the river of God's love
Unto a shoreless sea.

ANGELS OF EARTH
We think of angels as ethereal things,
With souls as spotless as their shining wings,
But unto some, upon this earth 'tis given
To far transcend the angel hosts of heaven.

HOME
Build man a palace turreted and grand,
Embellish it with gold from India's strand,
Then furnish it voluptuous and fair,
Yet 'tis not home without his love is there.
