Excerpt from At the Beautiful Gate, and Other Religious Poems Ord, open the door, for I falter, I faint in this stifled air. In dust and straitness I lose my breath This life of self is a living death, Let me into Thy pastures broad and fair, To the sun and the wind from Thy mountains Lord, Open the door to me!

Excerpt from At the Beautiful Gate: And Other Songs of Faith The suggestion by friends, that such of the wri ter's lyrics as are of an especially serious and de votional character should be brought together in a small volume, has led to the following collection. Many of these more than a third, perhaps have been written since the complete (household) edition of her poems was published, about ten years ago, and are not included in that edition. Others are now for the first time in print. In selecting from her more recent verses, as well as from those which have become somewhat familiar, choice has been made chiefly of such as may be called hymns, being at once lyrical and devotional; and also of such as have borne the test of a somewhat wide approval.

Excerpt from Unto the Desired Haven: And Other Religious Poems What matter how the winds may blow Or blow they east, or blow they west What reck I how the tides may flow, Since ebb or flood alike is best. NO summer calm, no winter gale, Impedes or drives me from my way I steadfast toward the Haven sail That lies, perhaps, not far away. I mind the weary days of old, When motionless I seemed to lie; The nights when fierce the billows rolled, And changed my course, I knew not why. I feared the calm, I feared the gale, Foreboding danger and delay, Forgetting I was thus to sail To reach what seemed so far away.
