Compensation

By Mrs. I. H. E.

A FEW steps only down the days All plain the path before us lies; Then mists and shades fold out the view, And hide it from our anxious eyes.

Yet still we go — but not afraid, As one who walks at night alone: The mists will lift, the shadows flee; God’s sheltering love will guard his own.

And when, far forward on life’s road, The sun shines backward o’er the years, A miracle I seem to see,— Life’s rainbow from life’s tears!

MRS. I. H. E.
