Text Appearing Before Image:
Go seek again your childhoods tree, And kindred bosoms cheer. Nay, weep not, dear ones; for your sake It pierces deep my heart,That God should all my branches shake;But let my heart in secret break, And bear alone the dart:Why should ye drink my sorrow? Take My blessing and depart. ±NAOMI AND RUTH. 79 Then on her neck the sisters fell, And wept and wailed amain :But Orpahs tears soon ceased to swell;She kissed, embraced, and said farewell, And spoke of parting pain;Then turned with secret joy to dwell With her own gods again. Naomi sighed: t Thy sisters thought No longer dwells with truth;She counts Jehovahs worship naught:The snares of earth her soul have caught, The idols of her youth.Thou too world-wisdom hast been taught; Follow thy sister, Ruth. Sweet were the accents that replied: Entreat me not, I pray,To leave thee; weal or woe betide,Still let me journey by thy side, Companion of lifes way,Lodge where thou lodgest. and abideBeside thee night and day. 80 EVE AND HER DAUGHTERS

Thy people shall my people be,Thy God my God most high:The Lord forbid by his decreeThat aught but death part thee and me; And when the end draws nigh,Where death shall set thy spirit free,There I would also die.7 Naomi and ruth. si Oh beauteous words, of depth sublime. And tenderness most rare,Strong faith that treads down birth and clime,Womans deep love outlasting time, A brave heart ills to bear,And fond affections gentlest chime Blend in bright union there. Hail, Euth, of high and steadfast mind! Hail, meek, submissive Euth!Welcome to Israel! Thou shalt findThy wild branch with her olive twined, Eefreshed with heavenly youth:See how the graceful tendrils wind; Conversion clasping truth, First-fruits from Moab, go, proclaim The harvest-home begun.Eoom, room in Israel! spread the flame;Eoom, room for every Gentile name; Eoom een for Babylon!Messiah comes, and his high fame Shall thousands bring for one.
