Poems

At-one-ment

As gently as the dew on tender flower,Comes to the heart Love's holy, healing power;As lightly as the breeze in summer air,Truth clears the mist of sense that lodgeth there.

Motherhood

O tender mother-love, weighed down with fear,What canst thou do?

Immanuel

When Love attunes my thought, and hatred flies,And Truth lays bare life's ills 'neath sunlit skies,Then Light of light! My heart in rapture cries.

Reflections

So still and cool, a little pool,With can-tails fringed and grasses,Reflects their sheen of brown and green,Stirred by each breeze that passes.

Radiance

Now do the constant stars their vigil holdO'er sleeping earth until the morning breaks;So Love doth guard us till Life's laws unfold,And from its dream the world to Truth awakes.

"Watch"

A serpent stole its sinuous wayInto the bed where sleeping lay,By slumber bound, a drowsy wight,From serpent's fang defenseless quite.

"Light"

Light, wondrous light, across the evening sky,Aglow on yonder hill!Light in my heart, for God is here and nigh.

Now

Now has in time's pretense no part.

Light

With vision of a seer, glad and free,The artist casts bright halos, as he paints,Around the heads of fair and holy saints,That humankind their holiness may see.

God's Day

When trembling chords of human hopesAre silent on the harp of time,In such a moment Love evokesThe melody of Life divine.

Enduring Work

"Blessed is he," the world's wise Master taught,"Whoe'er shall not offended be in me.
