Poems

AMBITION

From the July 1931 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear God, I need not strive for worldly honor,
Nor for the praise of men—
"The secret place" is where I long to dwell.
As lowly flowers their sweetness freely give
From out some ruin or in shaded glen,
So may I dwell content, whate'er my lot,
And live to glorify Thy name.
