HER VIGILANT TASK Out of a world (it must have been He.tven), Fate guided her eager grace, And placed in her hands the tenderest touch, And a quiet smile on her face. Into a world of suffering and pain. She found her task had begun. With never a falter in her soft step, In reaching the anguished one : And never a doubt in her cherished faith, Nor faded her hopeful light To illume the way for her task by dawn. And her vigil through the night. And when the war clouds stole across the world, Raising pains of all mankind. She straight-way wended to the wounded sides, Healing with pure hands and mind; And when her lender voice had reached some ears, Wishing not an earthly sound. She stirred the impulse of their dying hearts, And a newer hope was found. She never cared how near the fire-storms fell, Nor pains she ' d have to bear: She never dared to wish for joys her own. Giving others all her care. Into that other world. — the battle-front. She went with a heart sincere, To give to the world every noble dt ed, In exchange for war-borne fear; But if ever her thoughts are homeward bound. If e i e r ht i heart i rit i out For all of the peace she has left behind, And her life is low with doubt. M.n rh( look to the heaven in glory Shining on humanity, Then pent re her work is God ' . And her gift — peace, victory. Lorraine Jenkins. | i
