A Glory I See

By Arthur W. Spaulding

ARTHUR W. SPAULDING
A glory I see through the shadows grim That fall on the fainting day, A glory their gloom may lightly dim, But cannot hide for aye. For the night may wrap the earth in a shroud, But the stars of God shine through; And the glory they hold, it crieth aloud That the day shall live anew;
Shall live anew, with a glory born Of a thrice-relumined sun, When a new age dawns with God's new morn, And the cycle of time is done.
I have faced the shades with a failing breath, I have bowed to a tyrant's will; But I know that He liveth who conquered death, And I know that He conquereth still.
He conquereth still, and His shining mail Flings gleams of the coming day, When His hosts shall the forces of night assail, And the shadows shall flee away.
O then shall be joy to the sons of men, And glory shall blazon free! And where, O Death, is thy triumph then? Where, Night, thy victory?
Hendersonville, N. C.
