“ All day in silent warmth, or lost in haze
⁠That rises slowly from the sunken plain
⁠To hide Thy hills from sight through weary days of pain.
We have been wandering; some of us in light,
⁠And some in shadow ”

“ Thou who lovest souls, speak while we hear;
⁠Speak to our hearts which have been taught of Thine;
Hearts chosen of Thy Heart, and lifted near
⁠Thy place of dwelling, where Thy mercies shine,
⁠Clear splendors, pledged of love eternally divine.
We have been wandering very far afield,
⁠Whom Thou hast gathered, as in days of old,
At this same shrine, where still Thy hand doth yield
⁠Abundant blessing for the heads whose gold
⁠Of childhood shines not now, for childhood's days are told.
We have been far (our life has many ways) ”
