Excerpt from Heart Offerings: A Book of Poems Words for the sorrowful; Words meant to cheer them, To soothe the sad spirit Like health-bearing balm; To quiet the tempest-tossed Billows of anguish, Till the storm-beaten waters Sink into a calm: - Words for the sorrowful. Words for the jubilant, The brave and the gifted, Who make all the hope Of the future their own; Who look out on life With a Crusader's rapture, Never disheartened, Never alone: - Words for the jubilant.
