WORK AND WAIT.
. A husbandman, who many yeara
Had plowed his fields and sown In tears, '
Grew weary with bis doubts and fears.
"I toll In rain I These rocks and sands
Will yield 00 harvest ia my heads
The best seeds rot ia barren lands.
-"My drooping vine Is withering 1 !' .:. t.
No promised grapes its blossoms bring i .
Li. .0 1. Ln,, a..).; r. , ;
"My (look Is dying on the plain,
The heavens are brass tbey yield no rain
The earth is iion I toll in rain 1"
While yet he spake, a breath had stlrrod '
Ills drooping vine, like wing of bird.
And from its leaves a voio. be beard :
"The germs of fruits of life must be
Foreror bid In mystery) .
Vet nono can toil in vain for mo. ;
''A miirhtlor hand, mora skilled than tbinc.
Must hang the clusters on a vine.
And make tbe fields aud harroats shine.
"Mob can but work ; God co create;
Ilut they who work, and watch, and wait,
11 010 rbelr reward, though It ooine late.
Look up to heaven I behold and bear
Tha clouds and tbnnderinas in ihv nr
Aud Buiwer to thy doubts and fear."
He looked, and lo I a cloud-draped car,
With trailing smoke and fame alar,
Was nitbing from a distant star.
And crcry thirsty Hock and plain
Wac riling np to meet the rain
That came to clothe the Held, with grain. '
And on the elooils he saw aiTAln
The coren.nt of tied with men,
-wmieu wiib ois raiBOow pent -
'Seed time and harvest shall not fall,
And though the gates of bell assail,
My truth and promise shall prevail." '
