'TIS NOT THE GIFT.

By Flora E. Yergin

'Tis not the gift Bestowed by human hand That marks the motive in the giver's heart,— Measuring thus the length of his esteem; But O, the gift Sent from a loving heart, What cord can measure what its lines impart? But ah, we know its joys are what they seem!
'Tis a bright flow'r, Kissed by the sun and dew; A cup of living water sent to cheer; A message sweetly saying, "Love is true, Its wells are deep, its springs are ever new." FLORA E. YERGIN.
