THE YEARS.

By Frances Ridley Havergal

Are you rich in the years of bright gold Yet untold? Do they leisurely go, Like a dream that is fair, Or a prayer? Oh be wise; use them well! You shall know How the years, growing shorter, with good can increase, And a life at the end be transfigured with peace.

Does the thought that so few years remain Give you pain? Oh be glad that your quest Brings you into the light From the night, And the worker at last has his rest! In the home land above are no sorrows, no fears, And the life they live there is not measured by years.

—Frances Ridley Havergal.
