benita- 第44部分

spring　up　about　you；　and　children's　children；　and　with　them　also　shall

the　blessing　go。　The　gold　you　white　folk　love　is　yours；　and　it　shall

multiply　and　give　food　to　the　hungry　and　raiment　to　those　that　are

a…cold。　Yet　in　your　own　heart　lies　a　richer　store　that　cannot　melt

away；　the　countless　treasure　of　mercy　and　of　love。　When　you　sleep　and

when　you　wake　Love　shall　take　you　by　the　hand；　till　at　length　he　leads

you　through　life's　dark　cave　to　that　eternal　house　of　purest　gold

which　soon　or　late　those　that　seek　it　shall　inherit；〃　and　with　his

staff　he　pointed　to　the　glowing　morning　sky　wherein　one　by　one　little

rosy　clouds　floated　upwards　and　were　lost。



To　Robert　and　to　Benita's　misty　eyes　they　looked　like　bright…winged

angels　throwing　wide　the　black　doors　of　night；　and　heralding　that

conquering　glory　at　whose　advent　despair　and　darkness　flee　away。
