VIII

_No longer then the memories that ye hold

Dark in your brain shall slumber. Ye shall see

That City whose gates are more than pearl or gold

And all its towers firm as Eternity.

The stones of the earth have cried to it from of old!

Why will ye turn from Him who reigns above

Because your highest words fall short?

Kneel--call

On Him whose Name--I AM--doth still enfold

Past, present, future, memory, hope and love.

No seed falls fruitless there._

Beyond your Father's care--

_The old covenant still holds fast_--no bird, no leaf can fall.
