I HAVE SEEN thee play thy music in life's dancing hall; in the sudden leaf- burst of spring thy laughter has come to greet me; and lying among field flowers I have heard in the grass thy whisper.
The child has brought to my house the message of thy hope, and the woman the music of thy love.
Now I am waiting on the seashore to feel thee in death, to find life's refrain back again in the star songs of the night.

THE GREAT walks with the Small without fear.
The Middling keep aloof.

MY FETTERS, you made music in my heart. I played with you all day long and made you my ornament. We were the best of friends, my fetters. There were times when I was afraid of you, but my fear made me love you the more. You were companions of my long dark night, and I make my bow to you, before I bid you good-bye, my fetters.
