VERSES ON TEXTS: STILLNESS, ISA. 7, 4 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: THOU LAYEST THINE HAND ON THE FLUTTERING HEART
Last Line: I FEAR NO ILL.
Subject(s): IMMORTALITY; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
THOU layest Thine hand on the fluttering heart,
And sayest "Be still!"
The shadow and silence are only a part
Of Thy sweet will;
Thy presence is with me, and where Thou art
I fear no ill.
