<h2><SPAN name="page105"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>A GIRL’S FAITH</h2>
<p class="poetry">Across the miles that stretch between,<br/>
Through days of gloom or glad sunlight,<br/>
There shines a face I have not seen<br/>
Which yet doth make my world more bright.</p>
<p class="poetry">He may be near, he may be far,<br/>
Or near or far I cannot see,<br/>
But faithful as the morning star<br/>
He yet shall rise and come to me.</p>
<p class="poetry">What though fate leads us separate ways,<br/>
The world is round, and time is fleet.<br/>
A journey of a few brief days,<br/>
And face to face we two shall meet.</p>
<p class="poetry">Shall meet beneath God’s arching
skies,<br/>
While suns shall blaze, or stars shall gleam,<br/>
And looking in each other’s eyes<br/>
Shall hold the past but as a dream.</p>
<p class="poetry"><SPAN name="page106"></SPAN><span class="pagenum">p.
106</span>But round and perfect and complete,<br/>
Life like a star shall climb the height,<br/>
As we two press with willing feet<br/>
Together toward the Infinite.</p>
<p class="poetry">And still behind the space between,<br/>
As back of dawns the sunbeams play,<br/>
There shines the face I have not seen,<br/>
Whose smile shall wake my world to-day.</p>
