The Home Circle.

By Margaret Sangster

LIGHT AT NIGHT.

The day had been long and gloomy, Weary with mist and rain, A day for the heart to brood on Sorrow and loss and pain; But there came with the light of evening A wind that swept away All the shadow of darkness Out of the winter day.

Is thy life, O pilgrim, weary, Veiled from the cheering light? Perhaps for thee is the promise Of joy with the waning light. Fairer than noonday splendor, Richer than beams of stars, The lustrous glory of sunset May burn through the golden bars. —Margaret Sangster.
