G o o d O v e r A ll. On the river of life as I float along I see with the spirit’s sight That many a nauseous weed of wrong Has root in a seed of right, For evil is good that has gone astray, And sorrow Is only blindness, And the world is always under the sway Of the changeless law of kindness. The commonest error that truth can make Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse, And sin is only the soul’s mistake In miedireeting its force, , f And love, the fairest of all fair things : That ever to man descended, Grows rank with nettles and pois’nous stings Unless it is watched and tended. There could not be anything better than this Old world in the way it begun, And, though some m atters have gone amiss From the great original plan. And however dark the skies may appear, And however souls may blunder, I tell you i4 aii will work out clear, For good lies over and under. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Cosmopolitan. “ My mother was troubled with consumption for many years.
