Only A Rose.
ge bowed his head and fast the streaming tears jn torrents coursed the pale and furrowed cheek , As disappointment crushed his last faint hope , And death seemed waiting at the vine-clad
door . Alas ! that holy creeds will sever friends ! That charity is dumb when sect step in , Aud love is dead outside the narrow pale Which circumscribes a duty to belief 1 Behold the picture ! Here a stricken
man Dying of hunger at the stranger ' s door Where plenty is , and yet a crust refused For this alone—he kneels not at a shrine Which others hold the true and better one . Faint on the floor the weary jiilgrim sinks , As one low sentence trembles on his lips
, Iu words of magie yet familiar tongue . From out his scrip a symbol now he brings , Which bears a rose of pure and spotless white , And pressing this upon his bleeding lips He falls exhausted upon the cottage floor .
Ah ! wondrous change ! a kindlier voice he hears , A helping hand supports his fainting form , A brother kneels , HOPE bids his sinking faith revive . While CHARITY steps forth commanding him to live .
Know ye this tie that binds all creeds in one ? This BOSE that holds as brothers all mankind 1 Guard well ! let precept into practice run l ' o show the world how charity may bind . Nem Albany , Indiana .
