CLINTON SCOLLARD 1860-1932


-o0o-

A BELL

Had I the power
To cast a bell that should from some grand tower,
At the first Christmas hour,
Outring,
And fling
A jubilant message wide,
The forged metals should be thus allied:-
No iron Pride,
But soft Humility, and rich-veined Hope
Cleft from a sunny slope;
And there should be
White Charity,
And silvery Love, that knows not Doubt nor Fear,
To make the peal more clear;
And then to firmly fix the fine alloy,
There should be Joy! 

THE NEXT POST HERE WILL BE ON MONDAY 4TH JANUARY
A new Art Blog ART BY 20TH CENTURY WOMEN PAINTERS begins on Monday 4th January

WISHING EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
