Author Description

Excerpt from The Lay of the Bell Who would honour obtain, the sweat and the pain, The praise that Man gives to the Master must buy! But the blessing withal must descend from on high! And well an earnest word beseems The work the earnest hand prepares; Its load more light the labour deems, When sweet discourse the labour shares.
