A Poem
From Mrs. Eby .. •
—Against a Thorn—
Once I heard a song of sweetness
as it cleft the morning air,
Sounding in its blest complete
ness, like a tender pleading
prayer;
And I sought to find the singer,
whence the wonderous song was
borne;
(And I found a bird, sore wound
ed, pinioned by a cruel thorn.)
I have seen a soul in sadness,
while it's wings with pain were
furl'd,
Giving hope and cheer and glad
ness that should bless a weep
ing world;
And I knew that life of sweet
ness was of pain and sorrow
borne
(And a stricken soul was sing
ing with it’s heart against a
thorn.)
You are told of one who loved
you, of a Saviour crucified.
You are told of nails that pinion
ed and a spear that ipierced His
side,
You are told of cruel scourging,
of a Saviour bearing scorn,
(And he died for your salvation
wan ms orow against a uiorn.i
You “are not above the Master”
will you breathe a sweet re
frain?
And His grace will be sufficent
when your heart is pierced with
pain.
Will you live to bless His loved
ones, tho your life be bruised
and torn.
(Like the bird that sang so sweet
ly, with its heart against a
thorn.)
