Poem

The Voice of God

JAMES C. TOWNSEND

The voice of God is heard by him who waitsWith understanding heart and eager ear;It comes in tender sweetness through the gloomOf human mind, and baseless mortal fear;It finds its way to dark sequestered cellAnd fills it with the gladsome song of Love,Or comes to him who walks in market place,And sounds in lowly depths or heights above.
