THE PROFESSOR
Seven pupils, in the class
Of Professor Callias,
Listen silent while he drawls,--
Three are benches, four are walls.
_Unknown._
ONE WORLD
_"The worlds in which we live are two:
The world 'I am' and the world 'I do,'"_
The worlds in which we live at heart are one,
The world "I am," the fruit of "I have done";
And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit,
The world "I love,"--the only living root.
JOY AND DUTY
"Joy is a Duty,"--so with golden lore
The Hebrew rabbis taught in days of yore,
And happy human hearts heard in their speech
Almost the highest wisdom man can reach.
But one bright peak still rises far above,
And there the Master stands whose name is Love,
Saying to those whom weary tasks employ:
"Life is divine when Duty is a Joy."
THE PRISON AND THE ANGEL
Self is the only prison that can ever bind the soul;
Love is the only angel who can bid the gates unroll;
And when he comes to call thee, arise and follow fast;
His way may lie through darkness, but it leads to light at last.
THE WAY
Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul,
May keep the path, but will not reach the goal;
While he who walks in love may wander far,
But God will bring him where the Blessed are.
