Part 9

_Sa mataas na kalbaryo Ng layon mo at pangarap, Anak mo rin ang katalo't Nagbibigay ng bagabag. Parang hindi nalalaman Na Ina kang sa kanila Ay maampong bumubuhay Higit kaysa, wikang iba. Samantalang patuloy ka Sa dalisay mong adhika; Naglilipol naman sila Sa binhi mong ipinunla. Sa ganito ay maliwag Na dumating at makita Ang liwayway at pagsikat Ng hintay mo at pagasa._

_VENANCIO SALIENDRA._

=MY ANGEL--WORLD

_By Zósimo O. Maderal_

I

_Mine heart and soul Thou art; the mine love Thought thee e'er troll... So as to prove: There's not a throb, A wish, a sob, A rare fancy, That's not of thee._

II

_Thou'rt all and all To me the world: Suncrowned and tall... A flag unfurled... Thou'rt book, lyre, voice, Pearl, nymph, fate, choice, Rose, rhythm, path, night, Home, dream, life, light!..._

III

_For thee I sigh, For thee I hope, For thee I yearn... O, please, tell why Oft do I mope? Thou can't, dear, turn Thine eyes to me For ecstacy...?_

IV

_Mine heart and soul Thou art; to mine love, Thought thee e'er troll... So as to prove: There's not a throb, A wish, a sob, A rare fancy That's not of thee._

MY SACRED FLOWER...

_To my darling._

_Hail, fairest dream of my dreams supreme; From Minerva's Temple Oh, you've come 'midst thy country's esteem! Welcome and justified To you, my best of wishes I deem: May you be sanctified At Honor's Altar; and, Life's Blaspheme, Thee never shall trample!!..._

SANCHO A. SALIVIA.
