Book Excerpt


"Our winter voices prophesy
Of summer days to thee!"

So, in those winters of the soul,
By bitter blasts and drear

And how beneath the winter's snow
Lie germs of summer flowers!

Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all His works,
Has left His hope with all!

Lake of the Hills! where, cool and sweet,
Thy sunset waters lie!

Along the sky, in wavy lines,
O'er isle and reach
