For, as sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled

Until it is settled right.

O man bowed down with labor!
A woman, young, yet old!

O heart oppressed in the toiler's breast
And crushed by the power of gold!
Keep on with your weary battle

Against triumphant might;

No question is ever settled

Until it is settled right.

A TRAVELLER

ANONYMOUS

Into the dusk and snow
One fared yesterday:
No man of us may know
By what mysterious way.

He had been a comrade long;
We fain would hold him still;
But, though our will be strong,
There is a stronger Will.

Beyond the solemn night

He will find the morning dream,—

The summer's kindling light

Beyond the chill snow's gleam.

The clear unfaltering eye,
The inalienable soul,
The calm, high energy,-
They will not fail the goal!

Large will be our content
If it be ours to go
One day the path he went,
Into the dusk and snow!
