December 31

Lord, Thou hast been our Dwelling-Place.

"BUT do Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us," chanted the Lector, as he closed the book. And the Prior struck the board, and the brethren arose and returned God thanks for the creatures of food and drink, and for that Earthly Paradise, ever at their door, of tranquil and joyous and strenuous and thankful and humble acceptance of God's will.

WILLIAM CANTON

FORENOON and afternoon and night,—Forenoon And afternoon, and night,—

Forenoon, and—what?

The empty song repeats itself. No more?

Yea, that is Life: make this forenoon sublime,

EDWARD

ROWLAND

SILL

This afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer,

And Time is conquered, and thy crown is won.

THE INTERPRETER

Jan. 6. Things undone, not things done, have lost me heaven.

18. I care for naught else (but Thee, O God). 28. Think that this day will never dawn again.

Feb. 18. Everything must have its day, God's love only lasts alway.

25. Behold God's angel, fold thy hands in prayer. 27. Look on me well; even I, even I am Beatrice. 29. For one little tear.

Mar. 6. Needs must we have a ruler who discerns Of God's true citadel at least the tower.

9. Her shalt thou see above, Smiling and happy on this mountain's top.

16. Yet here¹ is no repenting, but we smile, Not at the fault, which comes not back to mind, But at the power which ordered and foresaw.

April 26. Even as I loved thee In mortal prison, so I love thee freed.

June 17. Desire upon desire came over me To mount above.

26. Yesterday is To-morrow.

¹ In Paradise.

THE INTERPRETER

July 7. Where the treasure is, the heart is.

12. Then felt I the great might of early love.

19. Slow to forget is he who truly loves.

23. Whereby they move, each to its destined haven Through the wide sea of being.

(Dante here speaks of the guiding hand of God which governs all things, stars and worlds and souls.)

29. Servants and messengers of life eternal.

30. Thus came I back from that most holy water Remade, as plants that in their early freshness With fresh leaves are refreshed, so was I pure And ready to mount upward to the stars.

Aug. 10. O brother mine, we all are citizens Of one true city.

16. O Spirit born for joy, who in the rays Of life eternal dost the sweetness feel, Which, left untasted, ne'er is understood.

23. To each (his place) gives gladness in the Kingdom, As to the King who in His will inwills us.

30. For here, by prayers on earth much grace is won.

Sept. 20. To know is to forgive.

28. He, who knows most, grieves most for loss of time.

Oct. 7. "O child of grace, this joyous life of ours," So he began, "cannot be known of thee Holding thine eyes thus ever earthward bent."

14. Therefore, in fashion of a sapling, grows Doubt at the foot of Truth.

17. Behold my God and my All! Enough is said to him who understands.

THE INTERPRETER

Nov. 9. O perfect life of Love and Peace.

21. Behold a door opened in Heaven.

Nov. 22. Our happiness in this is perfected, That what is willed of God we also will.

24. But see, how many speak the name of Christ, Who in the judgment will be far less near To Him, than those who never heard of Christ.

25. Light of the Understanding full of Love, Love of the truest Good fulfilled with Joy, And Joy that doth all sweetness overpass.

Dec. 20. The Heavens are calling you, and, circling round you, Show their eternal beauty manifold

23. Thy will be done.

25. And was made man.
