C. Won Sews-Record
(from The Traveller)
LET ME. DO my work each day; and if
the da.rkened hours of despair overcome me,
max I not forget the strength that comforted me
in the desolation of other times. May I still
remember the bright hours that found me walk-
ing aver the silent hills of my childhood, qr
dreaming on the margin' of the quiet' river,
when a light gleWed within rne, -and I pronaed
nay early. God to have courage amid the tempests
of the changing years.
Spare me from Ntterness and from the
sharp passions of ung:\arded . moments. May
I not forget, that poverty and riches are of the
spirit, Though the world know me riot, may
my thoughts.ancleaetions be such as shall keep
me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the
earth, and let me not forget the use of the
stars. Forbid that I should judge others, lest I
.condernTf myself. Let me not follow the clamour
Of the world, but walk calmly in MY path.
Give me a few friends, who will love me
for what I am; and keep ever burning before
my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And
though age, and infirmity overtake me, and I
come notsWithin sight of the castle of my
dreams, teach me still-to be thankful for life,
and Tor time's olden memories • that are good
and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find
me gentle still,
If I could only see the road you came,
'With all the jagged rocks aid crooked ways,
I might more kindly think of yeur missteps,
And only praise.
If 'I could know the heartaches you have felt,
The longings Tor the.things that never''`came;
I would not misconstrue your` erring' then,
Not even blame. `DO T WORRY ADOUT,,Mly I'M NOT AFRAID!"'
