Louisa Sarah Bevington Poems

OUR world is very little in the sky,
Far off she must be just a mote to see;
And on the tiny ball creep tinier we,
...

THERE are sea and sky about me,
And yet nothing sense can mark;
For a mist fills all the midnight
Adding blindness to its dark.
...

I THROW a guess out here or there,
I breathe a hope into the air,
I feel a dumbness like a prayer.
...

NOT ye who goad, but ye who lead,
My laggard will shall move;
I know no right but equity,
No road to it but love.
...

O YE joys that none have chanced on!
O ye goals that none have sought!
O ye gulfs of vacant ether
Where no starshine has been wrought!--
...

ONE more bruised heart laid bare! one victim more!
One more wail heard! Oh, is there never end
Of all these passionate agonies, that rend
...

Heart! art thou dead within me? Why this calm
To see thy joy die with the dying year?
When more is fact than ever thou didst fear
...

Peace on our earth! Men reconciled
To Law that bids them be;
O holy freedom! final faith!
O sacred certainty!
...

TAKE me to some waste of being,
Virgin spaces, dark and far,
Seas no vessel ever burdened,
Skies that never held a star;
...

FEAR hath torment! Hie thee, Fear
I am safe, for love is here.

Give me courage; I am weak,
...
