POEMS

Blind

"Show me your God!" the doubter cries.
I point him to the smiling skies;
I show him all the woodland greens;
I show him  peaceful sylvan scenes;
I show him winter snows and frost;
I show him waters tempest-tossed;
I show him hills rock-ribbed and strong;
I bid him hear the thrush's sung;
I show him flowers in the close--
The lily, violet and rose;
I show him rivers, babbling streams;
I show him youthful hopes and dreams;
I show him maids with eager hearts;
I show him toilers in the marts;
I show him stars, the moon, the sun;
I show him deeds of kindness done;
I show him joy, I show him care,
And still he holds his doubting ȧir,
And faithless goes his way, for he
Is blind of soul, and cannot see!
