LOVE

By J. A. Edgerton

It holds the starry hosts in place. It binds in unity the race. It fills the home with happiness. It ministers unto distress. It is of God the seal and sign. It is of life the law divine.
It is the soul of motherhood. It is the motive power of good. It is man's higher, better part. It is the scepter of the heart. It is the jewel without price. It is the key to Paradise.
It is the kindly light that leads Men onward unto noble deeds. It is the purifying fire That frees the mind from low desire. It stands behind each infant's birth. It is the sweetest thing on earth.
It is the fount of charity. It melts our hearts in sympathy. It makes the whole world beauteous seem. It opens the inner realm of dream. A guardian angel, it attends On parents, children, lovers, friends.
It is the source and secret spring From which proceeds each living thing. It links the atoms, and it runs With magic force thru all the suns. The earth beneath, the heavens above, Obey the gentle rule of love.
Denver, Colo.　　　　　　　　　J. A. EDGERTON.
