ACCOMPANYING MANUSCRIPTS PRESENTED TO A FRIEND	A
	-
'T is said that in the Holy Land	B
The angels of the place have blessed	C
The pilgrim's bed of desert sand	B
Like Jacob's stone of rest	C
	-
That down the hush of Syrian skies	D
Some sweet voiced saint at twilight sings	E
The song whose holy symphonies	F
Are beat by unseen wings	E
	-
Till starting from his sandy bed	G
The wayworn wanderer looks to see	H
The halo of an angel's head	G
Shine through the tamarisk tree	H
	-
So through the shadows of my way	I
Thy smile hath fallen soft and clear	J
So at the weary close of day	I
Hath seemed thy voice of cheer	J
	-
That pilgrim pressing to his goal	K
May pause not for the vision's sake	L
Yet all fair things within his soul	K
The thought of it shall wake	L
	-
The graceful palm tree by the well	M
Seen on the far horizon's rim	N
The dark eyes of the fleet gazelle	M
Bent timidly on him	N
	-
Each pictured saint whose golden hair	O
Streams sunlike through the convent's gloom	P
Pale shrines of martyrs young and fair	O
And loving Mary's tomb	P
	-
And thus each tint or shade which falls	Q
From sunset cloud or waving tree	H
Along my pilgrim path recalls	Q
The pleasant thought of thee	H
	-
Of one in sun and shade the same	R
In weal and woe my steady friend	A
Whatever by that holy name	R
The angels comprehend	A
	-
Not blind to faults and follies thou	S
Hast never failed the good to see	H
Nor judged by one unseemly bough	S
The upward struggling tree	H
	-
These light leaves at thy feet I lay	I
Poor common thoughts on common things	E
Which time is shaking day by day	I
Like feathers from his wings	E
	-
Chance shootings from a frail life tree	H
To nurturing care but little known	T
Their good was partly learned of thee	H
Their folly is my own	T
	-
That tree still clasps the kindly mould	U
Its leaves still drink the twilight dew	V
And weaving its pale green with gold	U
Still shines the sunlight through	V
	-
There still the morning zephyrs play	I
And there at times the spring bird sings	E
And mossy trunk and fading spray	I
Are flowered with glossy wings	E
	-
Yet even in genial sun and rain	W
Root branch and leaflet fail and fade	X
The wanderer on its lonely plain	W
Erelong shall miss its shade	X
	-
O friend beloved whose curious skill	Y
Keeps bright the last year's leaves and flowers	Z
With warm glad summer thoughts to fill	Y
The cold dark winter hours	Z
	-
Pressed on thy heart the leaves I bring	A2
May well defy the wintry cold	U
Until in Heaven's eternal spring	A2
Life's fairer ones unfold	U
