IN THE SHADOW.

By Sel.

I WALK through darkened paths, yet know My Father marks the way I go; I cannot see his tender smile, But feel his clasping hand the while; And since he heeds the sparrow's fall, I trust his love, in spite of all.
Borne through the dark by loving arms, I sometimes shrink with vague alarms, Yet closer cling, that I may hear The voice that whispers in mine ear. “O trembling soul,” it says to me, “Rest in the love that clings to thee!”
I cannot tell if long the way By which I go, through night to day; But, soon or late, I know my feet Will walk in sunshine, broad and sweet; And, soon or late, before mine eyes The radiant hills of peace uprise.
—Sel.
