To Make or Mar

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
Unravel the knitting o'er and o'er Till a perfect work is wrought; But a day, when passed, can come no more, Though with much repentance sought.
Though you cut the marble e'er so deep, Yet the statue marred feels not; For the wound in friend or foe you weep, But no tears can heal the spot.
O the blight of a cruel, cutting word, And the blot to your record given! May but gentle speech by the angels heard Be writ in the books of heaven.
O Saviour, bless my lips I pray With thy virtuous touch divine, That my voice may utter all the day Some gracious words of thine!
Portland, Oregon.
