JLJ Of memories far away ;
Her look has not a hint in it

Of what she sees today. Thomas A she

Some Valiant Deed
MY hour at last has come ;
Yet not ingloriously or passively
I die, but first will do some valiant deed
Of which mankind shall hear in after time.
Comer's Iliad
Stay, Traveller, Stay
STAY, weary traveller, stay \
Beneath these boughs repose |
A step out of the way
My little fountain flows.
And never quite forget
The monumental urn
Which Simus here hath set
His buried child to mourn.
From Ancient Greece, translated by C. Merivale
A Child's Prayer
FATHER, we thank Thee for the night
And for the pleasant morning light,
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the world so fair.
Help us to do the thing we should,
To be to others kind and good.
In all we do, in all we say,
To grow more loving every day.
