Health and Temperance.

GLORIFY THE ROOM.

WIDE open throw the shutters, and The curtains throw aside; Let in the sun's bright messengers In all their golden pride. What matter if from costly rug They take the rainbow bloom? They'll shower gems on it instead, And glorify the room.
Glad are the tidings that they bring From wood, and field, and hill, From singing bird and humming-bee, And the little dancing rill. Before them many shadows fly; They banish thoughts of gloom; Then with a welcome let them in To glorify the room.
With them comes health; upon the weak They many blessings shed; Their kisses strengthen tired eyes, And touch pale cheeks with red; No place too dear for them to seek, Its darkness to illumine; Thank God that we can let them in To glorify the room!
