SWEET ARE HIS WAYS WHO RULES ABOVE
O NIGHT OF NIGHTS
DEAR IS THE LOST WIFE TO A LONE MAN'S HEART
WEEPING AND WAILING NEEDS MUST BE
JESUS, THE LAMB OF GOD
THOU HAST BEEN ALWAY GOOD TO ME

SUCH AS HAVE NOT GOLD TO BRING THEE
A MORN OF GUILT, AN HOUR OF DOOM

POEMS
ROSAMUND.
_His blew His winds, and they were scattered._
'One soweth and another reapeth.'
Ay,
Too true, too true. One soweth--unaware
Cometh a reaper stealthily while he dreams--
Bindeth the golden sheaf, and in his bosom
As 't were between the dewfall and the dawn
Bears it away. Who other was to blame?
Is it I? Is it I?--No verily, not I,
'T was a good action, and I smart therefore;
Oblivion of a righteous enmity
Wrought me this wrong. I pay with my self ruth
That I had ruth toward mine enemy;
It needed not to slay mine enemy,
Only to let him lie and succourless
Drift to the foot o' the Everlasting Throne;
Being mine enemy, he had not accused
One of my nation there of unkind deeds
Or ought the way of war forbids.
Let be!
I will not think upon it. Yet she was--
O, she was dear; my dutiful, dear child.
One soweth--Nay, but I will tell this out,
The first fyte was the best, I call it such
For now as some old song men think on it.
