Poems

Brotherhood

One walked beside me on the road,Wearily, through the night;I stooped to bear his heavy load,And lo! my own was light.

Omnipresence

O dwell , my thought, on joys supernal,And know that God is Life eternal,That subtle error has no powerTo claim me in this present hour.

Desire

To understand, to love and live all good,To grasp the blessing of some cleansing fire,To see as perfect one pure brotherhood,To do God's work—this is my deep desire.

So gentle was his touch, so kind his eye—No fragile loveliness could pass him by,Nor shrink affrighted from his waiting hand,Lest, seeing, he should fail to understand.

Out of the Depths

Out of the depths Christ hath called thee,Called thee to light.

I gladly walk with God today,For Truth is God, and God is All;That which is true is good alway,And so no evil can befall.

I never thought I would have to throwMy nets on a shifting sea;The days were as calm as the seaweed poolsWhen first he called to me.
