THROUGH SUNNY DAYS AND ON THROUGH STORMY WEATHER,

YET EVER HAND IN HAND, BELOVED WIFE,

WE TWO HAVE WALKED OUR QUIET WAY TOGETHER

ALONG THE DUSTY ROAD OF COMMON LIFE.

BRIGHT WERE THE VISTAS ON OUR JOURNEY SEEN,

AND DARK THE VALLEYS OF THE SHADOW LAY, BUT YOUR DEAR LOVE, LIKE ISRAEL'S GOD, HAS BEEN MY LIGHT IN DARKNESS AND MY SHADE BY DAY.

I CANNOT GIVE YOU WHAT A SCHOLAR OUGHT,
LEARNING OR WIT OR INSIGHT FOR THE TRUE;

I BUT TRANSCRIBE WHAT YOU HAVE DAILY TAUGHT, -
THE SPIRIT OF THE MASTER SEEN IN YOU.
