A poem by James Whitcomb Riley

Faith

________________________________________________
Title:     Faith
Author: James Whitcomb Riley [More Titles by Riley]

The sea was breaking at my feet,
And looking out across the tide,
Where placid waves and heaven meet,
I thought me of the Other Side.

For on the beach on which I stood
Were wastes of sands, and wash, and roar,
Low clouds, and gloom, and solitude,
And wrecks, and ruins--nothing more.

"O, tell me if beyond the sea
A heavenly port there is!" I cried,
And back the echoes laughingly
"There is! there is!" replied.





[The end]
James Whitcomb Riley's poem: Faith
