THE AWAKENING
When life had lost its earlier glow. And youth and joy had fled; When memory was a. specter dark, And hope a fledgling dead— Then suddenly, across the night, There flashed a bcason blue Of unimagiued dawn, and I Awoke to love and you!. Your eyes were morning 1 stars, your hand A guide to teach the. way Out of the darkness where I fell Up to the pc ales of day; Back through the web of wasted years You led me, reconciled. Though I was a man with the eyes of a man, . And you'wore a little child. The good, we saw know only the good; But we, who dare to do • , Whatever thing our souls desire. Know good and evil, too; Yet when, with love .Upon their lips, They answer to our call, Oh. then I think the pure in heart Are wisest of us all! 1 Reginald Wright Kauffman.
