ST. JOSEPH'S MONTH.
Saint of the Childhood and the Hidden Life
i
Why is it that thy Month is always Lent?
What hadst thou with the Passion? Mary went
To Calvary with Jesus; but the knife
Of that fierce sorrow was spared thee. Thy strife
In anxious care and fostering patience spent:
Now 'to a stable now to Egypt sent
And then long years with humblest labor rife;
' But this thy portion of the coming cross
Which o'er thy path its forward shadow threw
And is not ours like thine to walk content
In that long shadow counting all things loss
Save what for Jesus we endure and do?
To teach us this thy month is always Lent.
Brui'h force may crush the heart but cannot kill;
The mind that thinks no terrors can compel;
But it will speak at length and boldly tell
The world its weakness and its rights; the night1
Our race so long has groped through since man fell
From his imagined Eden of delight ' '
Must will ere long retire from Truth's fast dawning
light.
