transcription: zephyr. Why then carol to this day? Art
thou afraid they brother will lose faith,
and tellest thou of Him who keeps they
swinging house so safe, though 'tis but
a hair that bindeth?
--The Crying Earth--
"Ah, mist that lifts her veil, like one
who hideth charm within the Orient but
to dazzle thee with beauty she discloseth
'neath the gossamer, like Beauty's smile
shall flash the sun, and, like unto Love's
stirring, wake the earth.
"And tears shall wash thy noon, and
tempest toss thine eve. Oh, let me dream
a song to coax thy smile once more. Nay,
chide me not, nor deny me light, for 'mid
thy frown the moon betrayeth thee. And hark!
my brother's song re-echoes, borne again to
Southland by the vagrant breeze. Canst
thou then deny me? Lo! Sun, moon, mist-
painted dawn and black-angered storm, thorn-
buckled nest and throbbing throat cry out,
'My God, my God, my God, thou lovest me!'"
--Prayer of Labor--
"And dost thou bend the knee and lay thy
hands along each other's palm in supplication?
'Tis not fitting. The hand which grasps,
soweth and reapeth.
"Around thy helmet shall ivy twine while
thy lance groweth blunt with prodding tough and
rigid world-knowledge. Aye, let thine armor
rust. Canst thou pluck a star upon thy lance's
point? Thou knowest all, wouldst pick knowledge
like a nut-meat from the world, while the hollow
shell holdeth the truth thou searchest. 'Tis
not the monk's store of page nor yet the wise
one's wag that telleth thee. Nay, thou art
listening to the badlem of the braying asses
who pluck the meat and cast thee a bone. Ah,
learn the song of God's chosen. Hark thee, to
thine inner land, and wake to truth."

This sitting was also at the home of Mrs. Hutchings.
Patience: "Go ye to a lighted hall to seek for
learning? Nay, 'tis a puddle, not a stream ye
search. Maybe thou sendest thy men for barley-
corn. 'Twould then surprise thee, should the asses
eat it."
