Be thou an angel to his life, And not a demon grim, Since with himself he is at strife, Oh be at peace with him. Speak gently of his evil ways And all his pleas allow, For since he knows not why he strays From virtue, how shouldst thou ? Love him, though all thy love he slights, For ah, thou canst not say But that his prayerless days and nights Have taught thee how to pray. Outside themselves all things have laws, The atom and the sun, Thou art thyself, perhaps, the cause Of sins which he has d...one. If guiltless thou, why surely then Thy place is by his side, It was for sinners, not just men, That Christ the Saviour died. SUPPLICATION. DEAR gracious Lord, if that thy pain Doth make me well, if I have strayed Past mercy, let my hands be laid One in the other ; not in vain Would I be dressed, Lord, in the beauteous clay Which thou did st put away. But if thou yet canst find in me A vine, though trailing on the ground, That might be straightened up, and bound To any good, so let it be ; And, haply at the last, some tendril- ring Unto thy hand shall cling.
