THE HERMIT'S CELL

I John iv. 16.

          
          "In the world ye shall have tribulation:"
               Lord Jesus, Thou saidst it of old.
          There dark are the desolate mountains,
               The night winds are cold.
          
          But safe from the storm and the tempest
               My soul hath a cell;
          There ever, beside the still waters,
               With Jesus I dwell.
          
          There, hushed from the strife and the sorrow,
               Alone and apart,
          In chambers of peace and of stillness--
               That Home is His Heart.

G. T. S.
