SERENITY by JOHN GALSWORTHY

First Line: THE SMILING SEA
Last Line: SERENE IS GOD.
Subject(s): SERENITY;

THE smiling sea
And dunes and sky
Dream; and the bee
Goes dreaming by.

In heaven's field
Moon's scimitar
Is drawn to shield
One dreaming star.

The dreaming flowers
And lovers nod.
Serene these hours --
Serene is God.
