MY GOD, I THANK THEE.

By Adelaide A. Proctor

My God, I thank thee who hast made The earth so bright, So full of splendor and of joy, Beauty, and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right!
I thank thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain; That shadows fall on brightest hours; That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain.
— Adelaide A. Proctor
