His Way

By Eleanor Scott Sharples

WITH a heart that was pure, and an eye seeing clear, She looked on a world full of woe, And begged with a woman's passionate might, “Dear Father, O pray let me go! “I will use all the strength of my earnest soul To teach them the way to thee;” But the Father but drew her more close unto him And answered her passionate plea,— “I have many a voice that is loud and strong, To speak to the world for me. But I’ve no one to sing a lullaby song To this wee little babe but thee.” And the song was so sweet, and the song was so soft, That the babe on her bosom smiled; And the world that was weary of noise and of strife, Saw God in the mother and child. —Eleanor Scott Sharples.
