Religion

VII

by Algernon Charles Swinburne 1837–1909

From A Channel Passage and Other Poems

Religion

No clamour of cries or of parties
Is worth but a whisper from thee,
While only the trust of thy heart is
At one with the soul of the sea.
In justice her trust is
Whose time her tidestreams keep;
They sink not, they shrink not,
Time casts them not on sleep.
