will not change. He has made them and they, like Him, can never fail can never die. JOANNA MITCHELL To Miss Sarah Porter's Portrait A painting on the wall--alone, Silent and still, and yet the strength Of wrestling waves and wild winds' weight Come forth from those mild eyes. The length Of all the years, and time, and space Will ne'er with mist or dust erase The living power of such a facel The depth of turbulence is calm, And deep beneath that will and force, Love pouring forth to every hearty For all this power forms the source Of life. Her dreams have grown Through strength and love into her own, Hers to be now, through time unknown. We pass beneath it constantly Each day, and see those eyes So clear that dominate the room. At last we find, and learn to prize, Her strength to live, and love, and do, Her depth to dream, but much more, too, Her trust that made her dreams come true. T ELSPETH HERBERT Peace The quiet of a thousand years Was known in that brief timeg The hush of softly falling snow Upon the forest pine. Yet not a silence cold or strange Of hate and fear and dread, But soothing, dreamless, peace-bound sleep, The beauty of the dead. JANET BROWN
