The Hospital High towering beside the busy street, Like some great castle built above a stream, For man's humanity to man, it stands memorial. A gentle priest, now gone to his reward, Blessed its foundation stones! For well he knew the service it would give To Him who said As unto these, to Me. Its doors are never closed. All colors, classes, Creeds, alike, find sanctuary here. Their very need engenders welcome, And a tender care. Here is no gory shambles as of a far gone day, No agonizing cries. Instead, are marbled halls Of sterile lovelinessg where stealthy feet And muted voices woo the elusive Morpheus. While knowledge and ability, combined with A great love, may even intercept the dreaded Summons of dark Azrael. Here labor on a chosen few, Lay-brothers of a great command, who for themselves Lay up no earthly hoard, but gladly gather up the Midas gold, to give again unto the poor. Here, also, is a place of gleaming glass and steel, And spotless cleanliness, presided over by Those white gowned ones, who consecrate their Days and nights to charitable deeds. First purified, and then prepared as for some Sacred rite, the sufferer can lay him down to Peaceful sleep and dreams, until comes one, who, lfVith a steady hand, clear seeing eye, and Calculating brain, effects efficiency almost divine, To lead him safely through the valley of the shadow. Here in the heart of this great pile, enshrined As though it were some priceless jewel, Is found the very crux and apogee of earthly Wlorks that men may do. XVhere faith and hope And charity combine with science and theology, To mend the broken body and make safe the soul. gflozzrtcsy Tlzf' jcmzcs Clark Pre 23
