THE ISLAND OF THE INNOCENT

Job 22:30

Fanny de Groot Hastings

The island of the innocent
Is bathed by quiet waters,
The planets of the firmament
Shine on its sons and daughters.

The island of the innocent
Is fruitful and is lush;
Its gentle creatures are content;
It knows a holy hush.

The island of the innocent
Is found without a chart
By all who give their glad consent
To be the pure in heart.

Fanny de Groot Hastings
