Of berry, flower, and brake,
If haply some may take.

COMMISSIONED.

"Do their errands; enter into the sacrifice with them; be a link
yourself in the divine chain, and feel the joy and life of it."
--ADELINE D. T. WHITNEY

Whose feet so little while ago
Trod the same way-side dust with mine,
And now up paths I do not know
Speed, without sound or sign?

What can I do? The perfect life
