Religion
Hold Fast This Truth
From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)
Religion
Hold fast this truth, whoe’er thou art,
And through all sorrow take it:—
God did not make the human heart
Simply that He might break it.
For not in vain love yearns for love;—
Beyond the grave’s dark portal,
In everlasting bliss above,
Awaits the life immortal!
