"A STILL, SMALL VOICE."

"A still, small voice," how oft we hear its pleading,
Renewed from day to day,
And turn away, all careless and unheeding,
Refusing to obey !

It comes sometimes at the calm hour of twilight,—
That whisper in the breast;
Sometimes it waits the solemn hush of mid night,

And robs us of our rest.
