She took a walk
Whirled around
By cold winds and rain,
Between rugged coasts and
A sleepy town—
“Why look for my fate
In the stars
Or some beguiling thing?
I live beyond night and
Day—in silence I cry
That goodness to see
From above! Thus,
Must I leave sad thoughts behind,
Which nonetheless travel with me, as do
Many notions and nothings—
And so to the Essence
Within, and a silver lining...
In peace and love
Every need is met!
Knitted I am to a gracious life!”
The world, then, is seen
In a brighter light,
Without age or
The passing of years...
