Seeking and finding

Originally published in the March 15, 1891 issue of the Christian Science Series (Vol. 2, No. 22)

I say I seek the Light, but turn aside
This way and that way, looking for a guide;
Behind me cast a glance, as if, may be,
Out of the shadows it will beam on me;
Forgetting that the sun shines alway, though
Unto my vision it may not seem so.

“’Tis thus I seek the Truth, and restless run,
Asking: ‘Where may it be?’ of every one;
Turning to paths that other feet have trod,
If haply I may find the way to God;
Then, while I waiting stand, the Light I see:
That Christ—the Truth—abideth now in me.”
