Lines On A Picture By Mary Gow
O whirling World! I know a corner stillUnsoiled by Hate and Strife:
Where hushed and gentle is the voice of Life:
Where Time--a summer rill
Soft-flowing through the grass--in measure slow
Sings sweetly as we go.
Here is a room wherein the white day gleams:
Silence o'er Peace has spread her pearly wings:
A smiling woman reads of simple things:
A child's blue eyes are blinded by their dreams....
(The end)

Before a Madonna--by Botticelli. Thine is the face our driven souls shall wear, O sweet serenity!--No earthly wind Can rend thine azure mantle now, nor tear Those veils that shield the radiant locks they bind. Thy brow is calm with storm appeased; thy lids Are heavy with the wisdom of all tears: Thy mouth is strong with silence that forbids Weary lament and craven wail of fears.
To Serenity

As, in a house where solemn-footed Death Has trodden, all the little children stand Before a silent door, with quickened breath, Holding each other tightly by the hand-- So we, O Mother! at the keyless door Stand gathered, heart-astir with nameless fears: A strength has left the hour; the world before Was warmer; and we face the day with tears.(The end)Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: V.R.I.--January 22, 1901
