Excerpt from At the Evening-Time: And Other Poems, a New; Edition of He Giveth Songs Er the songs be old or new, sung loudly and clearly, or low and falteringly, by voices trained and skilled, or careless and untutored, the burden is always the same, - the great Heart of Humanity Uplifting itself, with more or less of the patience of hope, to its God and wait ing - aye, yearning - for the day when it shall sing the new song and drink the new wine of His Kingdom. The voices are many, but the love and faith are one; and the con cord, we may dare to believe, is sweet not only to our earthly ears, but to that Divine Listener who scorns not to receive as our gifts to Him that which He first so richly bestowed on us.
