SILENT FORCES.

By G. W. Worthen

BY G. W. WORTHEN.
There is something dwells within us, Not akin to joy or pain, That revives our drooping spirits As the flowers the gentle rain.
'Tis as silent as the waters In the quiet of the sea, Or the shadows swiftly fleeting In the evening o’er the lea.
What it is no tongue can utter; Deep within the heart it dwells, As the light from other’s center Warmth imparts and gloom dispels.
Silent forces are most potent— Stars move on, the seasons roll— All unseen the same Hand guides them That controls the human soul.
Willowglen, Cal.
