In Search of A Wife...

 In Search of A Wife

In the lone field he walks at eventide,
To meditate beneath the open sky,
Where born on lighter wings prayers upward fly,
And  down  from  Heaven  sweet  answers  swiftly  glide.
But  as  he  glanced  around  that  landscape  wide,
Far  off  a  train  of  camels  meets  his  eye,
And  as  they  nearer  come  he  can  descry
A  maiden  vailed, -  his  unseen,  God-sent  bride.
Thus  while  to  Heaven  thought  after  thought  was  rising,
The  fair  Rebekah  step  by  step  drew  nigh,
With  life's  chief  joy  the  prayerful  saint  surprising:
For  those  who  think  of  Him  God  still  is  thinking,
With  tender  condescension  from  on  high,
Some  comfort  ever  to  some  duty  linking.

Rev.  R. Wilton.
