A RUSTIC BRIDGE, by

Subject(s): God; Religion; Theology


A rustic bridge; the copse at dawn
Adrip with sweetness of the night;
From out the reaches of the lawn,
A lark rose up beyond my sight.
The air was quivering with his song's wild lay
That shook and sparkled in the sunbeam's ray.

I hear across the chasmed years
The buoyance of that song to-day;
Hast thou the note dispelling tears,
To leave when thou art far away?
Yea soul, love's word can thrill from planets far;
God's love can ring from star to utmost star.
