THE FIRST CALL, by                    
First Line: I was wearied to-night from my quest of gold
Last Line: My children and my wife.
Subject(s): Gold; Spiritual Healing; Faith-cure


I was wearied to-night from my quest of gold
In my slavish, routine life,
And I called from the Silences untold
The Spirit whose arts were manifold
To surcease troubles rife;
When lo! from the deepest wells, behold,
Came a spirit called Love to my world of strife,
While a restful peace my heart consoled,
And it's always near when my arms enfold
My children and my wife.
