COMMUNION WITH GOD.

By Mrs. Nancy W. Gath

O SOLITUDE, where are thy charms? Or hast thou none? They who such hasty thought express I envy not their happiness, Nor their possessions—though from shore to shore They reach—nor hoarded coffers running o'er, O solitude!
Youth oft too little prize the blest retreat, And think to find Within the social band their joys complete. Mistaken youth! Such kind Are transient only; and the more we crave, The sooner learn their real goal, the grave.
Look not to mortal as a guide supreme To human joy, Nor dare of earthly happiness to dream Without alloy. 'Tis ours to tread the path our Master trod, And find communion sweet and peace with God. MRS. NANCY W. GATH.
