In the cruel fire of Sorrow Cast thy heart�察�do not faint or wail�察�Let thy
hand be firm and steady�察�Do not let thy spirit quail�此�But wait till the trial is
over�察�And take thy heart again�察�For as gold is tried by fire�察�So a heart must
be tried by pain� �
I shall know by the gleam and glitter Of the golden chain you wear�察�By
your heart's calm strength in loving�察�Of the fire they have had to bear。 Beat
on�察�true heart�察�for ever�察�Shine bright�察�strong golden chain�察�And bless the
cleansing fire�察�And the furnace of living pain� �

VERSE�此 �THE VOICE OF THE
WIND
Let us throw more logs on the fire� �We have need of a cheerful light�察�
And close round the hearth to gather�察�For the wind has risen to´night。 With
the mournful sound of its wailing It has checked the children's glee�察�And it
calls with a louder clamour Than the clamour of the sea。 Hark to the voice
of the wind� �
Let us listen to what it is saying�察�Let us hearken to where it has been�察�
For it tells�察�in its terrible crying�察�The fearful sights it has seen。 It clatters
loud at the casements�察 �Round the house it hurries on�察�And shrieks with
redoubled fury�察�When we say ;The blast is gone� ─�Hark to the voice of the
wind� �
It has been on the field of battle�察�Where the dying and wounded lie�察�
And it brings the last groan they uttered�察�And the ravenous vulture's cry。 It
has been where the icebergs were meeting�察�And closed with a fearful crash�察�
On shores where no foot has wandered�察�It has heard the waters dash。 Hark
to the voice of the wind� �
It has been on the desolate ocean�察�When the lightning struck the mast�察�
It has heard the cry of the drowning�察 �Who sank as it hurried past�察 �The
words of despair and anguish�察�That were heard by no living ear�察�The gun
that no signal answered�此�It brings them all to us here。 Hark to the voice of
the wind� �
It has been on the lonely moorland�察�Where the treacherous snow´drift
lies�察�Where the traveller�察�spent and weary�察�Gasped fainter and fainter cries�察�
It has heard the bay of the bloodhounds�察�On the track of the hunted slave�察�
The lash and the curse of the master�察�And the groan that the captive gave。
Hark to the voice of the wind� �
It has swept through the gloomy forest�察�Where the sledge was urged to
its speed�察 �Where the howling wolves were rushing On the track of the
panting steed。 Where the pool was black and lonely�察�It caught up a splash
and a cry ´ Only the bleak sky heard it�察�And the wind as it hurried by。 Hark

to the voice of the wind� �
Then throw more logs on the fire�察�Since the air is bleak and cold�察�And
the children are drawing nigher�察�For the tales that the wind has told。 So
closer and closer gather Round the red and crackling light�察�And rejoice
��while the wind is blowing�� We are safe and warm to´night。 Hark to the
voice of the wind� �

VERSE�此 �TREASURES
Let me count my treasures�察�All my soul holds dear�察�Given me by dark
spirits Whom I used to fear。
Through long days of anguish�察 �And sad nights�察 �did Pain Forge my
shield�察�Endurance�察�Bright and free from stain� �
Doubt�察 �in misty caverns�察 �'Mid dark horrors sought�察 �Till my peerless
jewel�察�Faith to me she brought。
Sorrow�察 �that I wearied Should remain so long�察 �Wreathed my starry
glory�察�The bright Crown of Song。
Strife�察�that racked my spirit�察�Without hope or rest�察�Left the blooming
flower�察�Patience�察�on my breast。
Suffering�察�that I dreaded�察�Ignorant of her charms�察�Laid the fair child�察�
Pity�察�Smiling�察�in my arms。
So I count my treasures�察 �Stored in days long past ´ And I thank the
givers�察�Whom I know at last� �

earth's dearest prize�察�Or�察�crowned with rays diviner�察�Bids the end arise� �
