R. L. Stevenson Gives Thqnks

"We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with wrhich we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our life delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle. Give us courage, and gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare us to our friends, soften us to our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that wh.ich is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and one to another.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

A Weover

I am a weaver of golden cloth, Singing old songs, I weave A fabric to wrap round a thousand dreams, When the long blue shadows leave..

The smile of a girl in organdy, The touch of a small white hand, A winding road in Normandy, Where the tall white birches stand.

T&e path of a tear that traced away Down a cheek I would have kissed, The starlight of a night in May, Red lips and meadow mist.

These things are golden: I weave them, Mindless of pattern or form, Into the fragment cloth of gold That keeps the old dreams warm.
