LIBRARIAN'S SONG

From the August 1970 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"And in that day shall the deaf hear
the words of the book" (Isa. 29:18)

Alert, let me wait
by this fountain, this gate
open to feed
a whole world's needs
with that pure Word
whispered and heard
in the beginning.

Let neighbors look
in these windows at books
speaking the truth
of God and man, proofs
following: power
to heal each hour
one sick or sinning.
