Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...pitying over brows and hair, And gentle words borne softly through the air, Calming her weary sense and wildered mind, By welcome, dear communion with her kind.... One who through conquered trouble had grown wise, To read the grief unspoken, unexpressed, The misery of the blank and heavy eyes, --Or through youth's infinite compassion guessed The heavy burden, --such a one brought rest, And bade her lay aside her doubts and fears, While the hard pain dissolved in blessed tears. 277.
