When you buvo onu, and 1 nm left alone, i
Voiceless anil blind, beslilo yourJeuiMty tl.rono,
To worship thoro in inuto Idolatry
Only swcot memories you have loft for mo,
I shall not want for slht to draw mo noar.
Nor words to slmr of all my heart hold dour,
When you have Kone.
For you liavo irono not from your throno nfur.
Into tho world wboro doubts and dangers arc,
Hut juHt doscondod from a Htutellor ruce
Into tho safely of my ltrm einbruee
That holds you nearer, doaror to tho heart
Rejoicing In tho power of u part,
When you uro koiiu.
Though you havo gone the fragrance nnd tho
thrill
Of your fair presence swiftly ntlr my will
To weave a orovvn of rare lldellty
For the glad fatth that hurries buck to me
And lam Imeellng proudly in tho dust
Holding aloft what seems a hollor trust
When you buvo gono.
-GEORGE E. HOWEN.
