I HAVE a little peace today,
And I can pause and see
How life is filled with golden things
And gracious things for me;
I can go watch the water run
And smile to feel the air
And love the deep touch of the sun
And know the world is fair . . .
Oh, hush, my soul, take comfort now
And sleepy-singing lie
Till Love return to hide the sun
And veil the earth and sky!
(Margaret Widdemer)
