Poems

[Written for the Journal]

NOW

From the December 1914 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Between two thieves, yesterday and tomorrow,
Time holds today, a trembler on a cross.
One taunts with good remote, and coming sorrow,
One mocks with offered cup of lees and dross.

But when today's noon shines in benediction
Upon their errant heads, Christ-wise,
The twain in one, blend in the resurrection
To the eternal now — their paradise.
