Reflection by Ella Wheeler Wilcox — Read

Twice have I seen God's full reflected grace. / Once when the wailing of a child at birth / Proclaimed another soul had come to earth, / That look shone on, and through the mother's face.

And once when silence, absolute and vast, / Followed the final indrawn mortal breath, / Sudden upon the countenance of death / That supreme glory of God's grace was cast.
