Poems (Clark)/Beautiful Helps

BEAUTIFUL HELPS
Only a delicate flower, Lovely in form and hue,—Sweet in its tender help, To feelings loving and true.
Only a beautiful thought, Framed into fitting rhyme,Helpful to lonely hearts, Traveling the shores of time.
Only a jubilant song Sung as the glad heart sings,Uplifting the longing soul As though borne on unseen wings.
Scattered along the way Beautiful helps abound:—The glow of the sunset sky, The ocean's song profound,
The light of a soul-lit face, The grasp of a loving hand,The bliss of a tender word, And deeds that are noble and grand.
All things beautiful, true, All things tender, are givenAs helps in the onward way That leads to the life of Heaven.
