Now
Now Rise! for the day is passing,And you lie dreaming on; Rise! for the day is passing,And you lie dreaming on;The others have buckled their armor,And forth to the fight are gone:A place in the ranks awaits you,Each man has some part to play;The Past and Future are lookingIn the face of the stern To-day.” […]

Nothing But Leaves
How Can a Pure Heart be Obtained? – William Booth Nothing but leaves; the spirit grieves Over a wasted life; Sin committed while conscience slept, Promises made but never kept, Hatred, battle, and strife; Nothing but leaves!
