CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS

—.1.— A star lean'd down and laid a silver hand
 * On the pale brow of Death—

Before it roll'd bleak shadows from the land
 * The star was Faith

—.2.— Across wild storms that hid the mountain far
 * In fun'ral cope;

Piercing the black there sailed a throbbing star,
 * The red star, Hope!

—.3.— From God's vast palm a large sun grandly roll'd
 * O'er land and sea

Its core pure fire, its stretching hands of gold Isabella Valancy Crawford Aug 24th 83 31
 * Great Charity!
