Religion
Forgive Us, Lord!
From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)
Religion
Forgive us, Lord, our foolish fears;
For, to Thy patient sway,
A day is as a thousand years,
And a thousand years as a day.
Thy will, O God, is sure alway;—
This faith our darkness cheers:—
Thine, equally, the flying day,
And the march of a thousand years!
