Religion
The Voyage
From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)
Religion
Embarked upon an unknown sea,
And borne by tide which ne’er returns,—
Awed by the deepening mystery,
The stoutest heart for comfort yearns.
Fear not;—we are not left alone;
To wiser hands the helm is given;—
A guidance better than our own
Directs our way from earth to heaven.
