June 3
Companions of the Way (Evening)Abide in me, and I in you.
SINCE Eden, it keeps the secret! Not a flower beside it knows
To distil from the day the fragrance And beauty that flood the Rose.
Silently speeds the secret
From the loving eye of the sun
To the willing heart of the flower:
The life of the twain is one.
Folded within my being,
A wonder to me is taught,
Too deep for curious seeing
Or fathom of sounding thought,
Of all sweet mysteries holiest!
Faded are rose and sun!
The Highest hides in the lowliest;
My Father and I are one.
