Poems

THE LESSON

From the August 1939 issue of The Christian Science Journal


May I be patient with unreason, I
Who am so little reasonable, Lord!
Let me be calm before dishonesty,
Who am so heedless, often, of Thy Word.

Teach me to walk Thy way in tenderness;
To know that evil has no life, no part
In all Thy kingdom; give me gentleness,
And, above all, an understanding heart.
