"WITH THEM THAT DO REJOICE."
A CONGRATULATION.
ALL yesterday our sky was cold and gray;A misty wall of cloud hid from our sightThe mountain-tops; the plains stretched cold and white,And snow-flakes slowly floated down and layLike funeral flowers about the pallid day.Sudden at noon the sky to south grew bright,Turned blue, was radiant in full sunny light.Beneath our clouds we sat, and looked awayInto this glowing south till sunset. SoInto my life's gray calm to-day there fellMessage that two I love had come to knowThe one great earthly joy no words can tell.Dear Hearts, I think light from your South will flowTo me until the tolling sunset-bell.
