When, afterwards, we issue from the dark, To find that sorrow's veil did shade the light In love — to save us from the loss of sight — We rise and sing with joyous song of lark : THE LIGHT OF NIGHT. 63 The sunshine falls upon our wings of dew ; Then — like the hoar-frost on our evergreens, All rich in pearls — we see the shining screens Which in the night are wrought, but out of view. Our Father makes the shades of night to fall, That we his children light around may shed ; That light and life,... which sometimes seem quite dead, May glow and burn most bright at sorrow's call. And if these thoughts should -cast some cheerful light, And sing to thankful hearts a joyous psalm ; Or bring to troubled souls a soothing balm, — ■ The debt is due to Him who maketh night. THE BLIND GIRL AND HER BIBLE. She loved her Bible as mariners love The stars. As the steersman's hand falls softly On the helm, and darkness grows less dreary Beneath the shining groves of heaven's lamps, — So did she oft beguile lone hours, and break Time's dull monotony ; her slender fingers Playing about the letters of her book — Like sunny children among wild flowers : Thus finding, in the mystic sense of touch, The eye-sight of her soul.
