DEDICATION	A
	-
	-
	-
O POOR sad hearts that struggle on and wait	B
Like shipwrecked sailors on a spar at sea	C
Through deepening glooms if haply soon or late	B
Some day dawn glimmer of what is to be	C
Not knowing Christ nor gladdened by His Love	D
	-
And Life indwelling to you I dedicate	B
These humble musings praying that from above	D
On you being faithful found the light may shine	E
Of Life incarnate and of Love divine	E
Take then these thoughts in loving memory	C
	-
Of those dead hearts that brought it first to me	C
	-
	-
DOWN by the sea in infinite solitude	F
And wrapt in darkness save when gleams of light	G
Broke from the moon aslant the hurrying clouds	H
That fled the wind lay Justin worn with grief	I
And heart sick with vain searching after God	J
	-
	-
He heeded not the cold white foam that crept	K
In silence round his feet nor the tall sedge	L
That sighed like lonely forest round his head	M
His heart was weary of this weight of being	N
Weary of all the mystery of life	O
	-
Weary of all the littleness of men	P
And the dark riddle that he could not solve	Q
Why men should be why pain and sin and death	R
And where were hid the lineaments of God	J
No voice was near Behind a lofty cape	S
	-
Whose iron face was scarred by many a storm	T
Loomed threatening in the dark and cleft the main	U
And laid its giant hand upon the deep	V
One grizzled oak tree crowned it and the surf	W
Broke ever at its base with ceaseless voice	X
	-
Powerless to mar its silent majesty	C
Sweet was the loneliness to Justin sweet	Y
Perturb d nature as in harmony	C
With the dark thoughts that beat upon his soul	Z
Nor speechless long he lay The tide of grief	I
	-
O'erflowing the narrow limits of the mind	A2
Broke from him and in burning word he cried	B2
O God if God there be in this foul chase	C2
O Fate if Fate it be that drives us thus	D2
O Chance if it be Thou that mouldeth all	E2
	-
Stern Power whate'er Thy name that sit'st sublime	F2
Above creation throned creation's Lord	G2
With feet upon the spheres whose flaming arms	H2
Scatter new worlds form age to age to roll	Z
Thro' the dim cycles of all time to bloom	I2
	-
Into warm life what iron law impels	H2
Or wanton cruelty in the eternal deep	V
Of mind supreme Thee to send sin and death	R
To prey thus on the creatures of Thine hands	H2
Until the while skulls crumble back to earth	J2
	-
From whence they sprung O Chance O Fate O God	J
My soul is broken with the clang of worlds	H2
The universe is discord all to me	C
I see dark planets roll o'er human graves	H2
I feel them quivering with the cries of souls	H2
	-
I know no more O Power whose face is veiled	K2
From man in Thine own greatness Thou whom I	L2
Thro' weary years have sought but sought in vain	U
In every shadow upon every hill	M2
In the sweet features of a child or on	N2
	-
The illimitable sea in heat in cold	O2
And in the rain that clothes the earth with buds	H2
And in the breath of things invisible	P2
Till worn and helpless now I long for death	R
Let me before I die hear some still voice	H2
	-
If such indeed there be some undertone	Q2
That flowing from eternity thro' all	E2
The jarring voices that now rend the soul	Z
Shall blend them into one long harmony	C
So let me hearing die and dying rest	R2
	-
	-
He ceased and sweet as after day of storm	T
Flows the still sea at even the winds and waves	H2
Asleep in purple mists a silence crept	K
Over the worlds and flooded Justin's soul	Z
And in the silence Justin heard a voice	H2
	-
And the warm throbbing of a human heart	S2
And thro' the darkness moved the form of Christ	T2
White robed with crown of thorns and those sad eyes	H2
That saw His Mother weep beside the cross	H2
Then form innumerable throats uprose	H2
	-
One glorious music one great hymn of praise	H2
From all creation th' universal sounds	H2
Of tireless nature thunders of the sea	H2
On clouded crags where arctic winds at night	G
Tear at its foaming lips a land of ice	H2
	-
And spectral suns the deep toned mountains too	U2
All shadow clad in forests send their voice	H2
From caverns subterranean where the newts	H2
And blind worms fear no day the lion's roar	V2
On viewless waste the thundering cataract	W2
	-
And huge leviathan Nor only these	H2
But from the laughing groves and vine clad hills	H2
And valleys come sweet sounds the notes of birds	H2
The hum of insects when the meridian sun	A
Drives the glad reapers to their noonday meal	X2
	-
By leaf arched brook and lowings from the fold	O2
In cooler evening when the maidens ply	L2
Their daily task the children's innocent mirth	J2
And angels' songs cloud wafted from the deep	V
Of heaven's blue and fainter still the sounds	H2
	-
Of far off worlds and the orbed universe	H2
But that which ran thro' all and linked them all	E2
In one long harmony that undertone	Q2
Which made them music was the voice of Christ	T2
And the soft beating of His human heart	S2
	-
A calm light stole on Justin and a peace	H2
Unknown before unutterable deep	V
Within the spirit's depths a new born sense	H2
As if his heart had eyes and every eye	L2
Saw God thro' all in His own loveliness	H2
	-
The vision passed and slowly Justin rose	H2
Unwilling quickly to disturb the peace	H2
Which his strange dream had poured into his soul	Z
And the last accents of the voice that yet	Y2
Throbbed in his heart and kindled all his love	D
	-
There was a stillness and a hush o'er nature	Z2
The sweet expectancy of early dawn	A3
That waits its king the wind had fall'n the sea	H2
And shore spoke but in whispers only birds	H2
Felt not the universal awe but from their nests	H2
	-
Dew sprinkled woke with songs the sleeping woods	H2
Through which a faded beauty peered the moon	B3
Then turning Justin suddenly beheld	Y2
A man of years with long dark robes and hair	C3
Whiter than sea foam in the moonlight seen	D3
	-
Strewn on black rocks who seeing Justin rise	H2
Moved nearer to him saying O my son	A
For son thou art in this new faith whereto	Y2
I call thee seeing thou wilt be born again	P
By water and the washing of thy soul	Z
	-
Form its vain creeds me hath the Father sent	Y2
In His great mercy loving thee and all	E2
To be a witness to thee of thy dream	E3
To solve the mysteries thou couldst not solve	Q
By thine own searching and to lead thee now	F3
	-
To that dear Voice thou heard'st and lay thine head	Y2
Upon the Heart that filled thy soul with peace	H2
So by the sea among the frowning rocks	H2
They sat in converse while the aged priest	Y2
Led Justin's spirit onward thro' the gloom	I2
	-
Of vain philosophies as one who guides	H2
An alpine traveller up some dizzy height	Y2
Where opening views expand at every step	G3
Thro' lessening mist till Justin gazed at last	Y2
Upon a manger rude and sleeping lain therein	H3
	-
He saw the features of the Son of God	Y2
My Father then cried Justin now my heart	Y2
Reads the bright message of my dream I see	H2
How vain and futile all philosophies	H2
But this the last which burns into my soul	Z
	-
With fire of love so wondrous yet I see	H2
How even they with weak and tremulous hand	Y2
Point toward the Christ and lead men up to Him	I3
I now descry His footsteps in dead years	H2
He guiding me unconscious knowing Him not	Y2
	-
When first my limbs full grown in sinewy youth	J3
Felt the strong life within my spirit glad	Y2
Moved like broad day enshrined in cloudless skies	H2
No care I knew no sorrow grieved my heart	Y2
But all was joy a throbbing flowing joy	K3
	-
I wandered thro' the forests and the wilds	H2
On mountain height above the birth of storms	H2
I heard unmoved the thunder at my feet	Y2
And tottering crags that filled abysmal depths	H2
With shattered pinnacles and voices dread	Y2
	-
That made earth tremble to its central fire	Z2
I heard the lion's roar but felt no fear	L3
The many fingered forests clapped their hands	H2
They breathed my life the lions were free as I	L2
I felt all nature and myself were one	A
	-
Birds beasts and insects breathing flowers and trees	H2
And charm d life linked us in brotherhood	Y2
I watched the rising sun from day to day	Y2
Surprise the world with glories ever new	U2
No clouds obscured the rosy hands of dawn	A3
	-
But lifted us to realms of joyousness	H2
And deepening light No thought of settin	A3
