[Written for the Sentinel]

Stilled

When heavy clouds of sense hang low,
And restless thought runs to and fro,
   Not knowing where to look,
   I read the little book *
   Till faith unfolds her wings,
   Then soars aloft—and sings.

So gently is the tumult stilled,
So full of love my heart is filled,
   That almost unaware
   The dove of peace rests there;
   And in the hush—so still—
   I learn the Father's will.
