Hope Unbound

MAUD W. MAKEMSON

Fling wide the closed portal!
Loose the imprisoned thought;
Let hope on wing immortal
Fly forth to seek a haven
As dove of old once sought—
To seek a glorious haven,
With heavenly blessings fraught.

Too long with cruel fetter
Has the longing heart been bound.
To holier land and better
It wings, to meet the infinite
Where Truth and Love are found—
To meet the glorious infinite,
Where hope shall be unbound.
