Faith and Humility

By Mary H. Williams

MRS. MARY H. WILLIAMS
HUMILITY sat the wayside by With meekly folded hands, and said, I never can climb the mountain high; I faint so oft I fear to try With others stronger and swifter than I." Then Faith came up with a buoyant tread, But his eyes were fixed on the light afar That gleamed from the golden gates ajar; And he saw not the weary, drooping head Till he heard Humility's cry.
Then he stooped and looked in her tear- stained face: Come, lean on me. I will quicken your pace; I need moreover your childlike grace To keep from presumptuous pride." She looked at his shining armor bright, In his starry eyes with visions light, Then trustingly walked by his side.
And thus they travel the King's highway, Hand in hand till close of day. In whatever ills betide, Humility finds in Faith her stay; Faith's eager course brooks no delay: So Faith and Humility thus abide.
