LAURA GERAHTY

The dark clouds pass.
In patience, waiting, on the cool, sweet grass,
I look beyond and catch the bits of blue
That fill the heav'ns, immense, serene and true.
And I am minded of th' eternal peace
That calms the anxious heart, and brings release
Though dark clouds pass.

Is effort vain?
Do suns rise on our best to set again?
Nay, though earth sighs and groans in loud lament,
One look beyond dispels discouragement;
For there, above all human sense of things,
There is no room on Truth's resplendent wings
For effort vain.
