Religion

One Question, Many Answers

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Ministry of Song

Religion

What wouldst thou be ?'
The question hath wakened wild thoughts in me,
And a thousand responses, like ghosts from their graves,
Arise from my soul's unexplored deep caves,
The echoes of every varying mood
Of a wayward spirit all unsubdued ;
The voices which thrill through my inmost breast
May tell me of gladness, but not of rest.
