Happiness—you wait for us
Just beyond,
Just beyond.

We know not where,
      Nor how we shall find you.
We only know you are
    Waiting, waiting,
        Just beyond.

Glorification — (To W. W.)

The arms of the earth broke through the sod
And clenched his fist in derision,
For clay knows not the might of God,
It has but earthy vision.

The finger of God wrote in the sky
A sign of mighty fire:
“Reach up to me for I am Life”
But earth could reach no higher.

With strength of muscle, with might and main,
Earth struggled and then defied,
But God stretched forth His hand of Love
And Earth was glorified.
