Poems

WATCH AND PRAY

From the December 1902 issue of The Christian Science Journal


List! "Sleep on now and take your rest"—
Anew the voice divine
Rings out athwart pretended zest
That suffers love's decline.

Shall the betrayer's faithless kiss
Find echo in my part?
Christ leads, and none the path can miss,
Except the cold of heart.

"Arise, let us go hence!" —Afar
From unreal sense of ease,
To where shines duty like a star
O'er error's stormy seas.

He thrice denies our Lord who thinks
No cross for Truth to bear,
No Life reflects in health, and shrinks
From Love's work, watchful prayer.
