SONGS OF COMRADES.


Yet He waiteth evermore.
They who ask have all things given ;
Light shall increase.
Gloria in excelsis Deo !
Amen.

BELLS IN THE DISTANCE.

Farther from the priest,
Nearer those that pray ;
Farther from the lamps,
Nearer light of day.
Yet where prayer is made
God is wont to stay.
Through, not past, the church
Is the appointed way.
Pax vobiscum.
Amen.
