HUMILITY.

THE bird that soars on highest wing Builds on the ground her lowly nest; And she that doth most sweetly sing Sings in the shade when all things rest; In lark and nightingale we see What honor hath humility.
When Mary chose the better part, She meekly sat at Jesus' feet; And Lydia's gently-opened heart Was made for God's own temple meet; Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.
The saint that wears heaven's brightest crown In deepest adoration bends; The weight of glory bows him down The most when most his soul ascends; Nearest the throne itself must be The footstool of humility. —Selected.
