ENCOURAGEMENT.
'Tis not winter time yet, my dear heart,Though autumn has crept through the air;'Tis not time to be sad and lonely;There's no need to live in despair.
The birds are yet singing with sweetness;The grass is yet growing and green.The streams are yet rippling and merry;The snow-clad hills are not yet seen.
descriptionPage 41
The flowers are yet full and handsome;The squirrel yet plays in the trees;The sun has lost none of his lustre;There's some warmth yet left in the breeze.
Therefore, dear heart, cheer up, be mirthful;Throb not with less vigor and vim;Thy blood flows as freely as ever;Thy life is yet nourished by Him.
Oct., 1901.
