Excerpt: ...to you, and seem To feel your vastness penetrate my soul; And faintly see, far-off, and looming broad And dread, the grandeur of the world of God, And thrill to be a part of the great whole, Which towers above me, a stupendous dream. SUMMER RAIN O rain, Summer Rain! forever, Out of the crystal spheres, And cool from my brain the fever, And wash from my eyes the tears Stir gently the blossoming clover, In the hollows dewy and deep, - Somewhere they are blossoming over The spot where I shall sleep. Asleep from this wearisome aching, With my arms crossed under my head, I shall hear without awaking, The rain that blesses the dead.

But the trouble of life and living, And the burden of daily care, And the endless sin, and forgiving, Are greater than I can bear. So rain, Summer Rain, and cover The meadows dewy and deep, And freshen the blossoming clover, And sing me to dreamless sleep.

It fell like a snow-flake over night, Into the ways by vile ones trod; It sparkled-dissolved in the morning light, And the little white soul went up to God. Dainty, flower-soft, waxen thing, Its clear eyes opened on this bad earth, And the little shuddering soul took wing, By the gate of death, from the gate of birth. Not for those innocent lips and eyes, The words and the ways of sin and strife; The pure...
