RECONCILIATION by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN

First Line: THERE IS A PLACE WHERE HE HATH SPLIT THE HILLS
Last Line: AH! BROTHER, MAY WE NOT BE JOINED AGAIN?
Subject(s): RECONCILIATION;

THERE is a place where He hath split the hills;
No water fills
The gap --
A bow-shot wide
Side stands to side,
Indenture perfectly opposed,
The outlet closed
By seeming overlap --
So severed are our hearts, so rent our wills;
And yet the old correlatives remain --
Ah! brother, may we not be joined again?
