THE FIRST CALL by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER

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.
