| Augustin S. Macdonald, comp. A Collection of Verse by California Poets. 1914. | | | | “The Greatest of These Is Charity” | | By Harriet M. Skidmore |
| | | THREE kindly angels, crowned with light, | |
| Illumine our way through darkest night. | |
| Safe shall they rest in realms above | |
| Who follow Faith, and Hope, and Love. | |
| |
| But Hope must die, her mission done, | 5 |
| Where blissful certainty is won. | |
| And Faith, when “face to face” we see, | |
| Is lost in glad Reality. | |
| |
| One fadeth not, one dieth ne’er,— | |
| But, robed in Heavenly radiance fair, | 10 |
| Shall keep through endless years above | |
| Her glorious name—Immortal Love! | | | | |
