So, reading, I forget that skies are gray. And pathways sudden under falling rain. They are so full of simple friendliness â€" Of understanding of the things I love. No phrase obscure or vague, to make me guess â€" No deep philosophy my soul to move. And though your eyes are "lifted to thr- hills" You still keep faith with earth. and earthy things: Prosaic duty all your hour fills _ The while you listen for the beat of Wings. You have read deeply in the book of life, And you have added lines that I _shall keep To be a shield against the petty strife Until such time as I shall fall asleep. So when I would forget that skies are gray I read you letters on a rainy day. 44¢» 25
