Excerpt from The Vision of the Eucharist: And Other Poems
To Cyri, and Willie.
The father"s craft I know not as I would; -
If childhood we must keep true men to be,
So more of sonship must our Father see
In those who share with Him in fatherhood.
My boys, you have one Father Who is good,
Who loves His children unforsakingly;
Your home His Bosom is, your one roof-tree
The God-revealing, Christ-uplifting Rood.
Poor verses are the best that I can make,
To higher thoughts I can but point the way,
And yet, perchance, just for a father"s sake,
Your love may prize them on a coming day.
This hope, my sons, your father s heart inspires
That brighter far than his may burn your altar-fires.
