American poet
No matter whether failure came
A thousand different times,
For one brief moment of success,
Life rang its golden chimes.
EDWIN LEIBFREED
"I Am Content"
The kindest souls are ever
Those who sin and suffer most,
And who thoughtfully endeavor
To forget whereof men boast.
EDWIN LEIBFREED
"When the Gentle Christ Was Tracing"
There are tides of justice surging to the unknown shores of right;
Stars of truth that seek a setting in the dark, untutored night.
EDWIN LEIBFREED
"Caelestis"
Not in tears should we pray,
But in hope, smiling bright,
When the glory of day
Has forgotten the night!
EDWIN LEIBFREED
"Pray--Not When in Tears"
