I see her heed the warning. Lo ! she girds Her for the journey straightway, first to obey. I note her patient care, as for the way 62 MARY SYLVESTER PA DEN. Of travel she prepares the unthinking men And the weak children. Bravely tries she then The strange new track, New goal ! The path lies straight before them. Men of God Promise new lands, New lives. Light steps the foot with goodly promise shod ! The eager men look forward; gay and glad, The children bound along; she, only, sad At thought o...f the old home-nooks, the old places That echoed these dear voices, framed these faces, Where ruin stands And strives. Poor, yearning woman-heart ! One glance she craved, And she "looked back. " Poor soul ! Though from the weary journey surely saved. "O cruel God ! I would have looked back, too !" I used to cry, not understanding. True, Deep wisdom read I in the legend now When change commands thee, in obedience bow. Take the new path that waits thee. Looking back Upon the loss, the ruin and the wrack, Dreading the changing new, availeth naught, But turns thee, frozen-hearted and o'erwrought, Into a statue by thy life's Dead Sea; A warning unto those who wiser be, Who, lost the old, seek, wiser still, the new, And ne'er look back.
