LIFE'S ALIMENT.

By Rosalie E. Jones

“The bread of life is love,” and since we must Have love or our souls perish, let us pray That if we may not feast, yet still a crust From the rich loaf be ours from day to day.
“The salt of life is work,” and so we toil Patiently on, with hand and heart and brain, Sometimes with tears beside the midnight oil, Remembering we can wrestle, if not reign.
“The water of life is faith,” and while it springs, Limpid and clear, in fructifying streams, Hallowing our love and toil, such blessings brings As make life the Utopia of our dreams.
“The sweetness of life is poetry,” and we bend Our souls in worship, and with spirit kiss Drink in the sublime verities which lend This little, finite life so much of bliss. — Rosalie E. Jones.
