"AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE"

Virginia Hope Jeffery

Now only this we know:The presence here,The warm, sweet glow;Not any face, nor any nameProclaims His Person, whence He came,But Love draws nearTo opened heart and thought,After wind and quake and fire,When, through purified desireDearly bought,We listen, conscious of His willEmpowering good, not ill,And evil stripped is seen as naught.
