I Will Not Shun The Beautiful Outcome Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

I will not shun the beautiful outcome
The cactus blooming with no rain
The plain songbird with the jeweled tune
Behind the clouds an even brighter moon
And radiance itself from every gloom
Appearing and appearing
I will not shun the beautiful outcome
Dreary though the day may seem
I will by the power of any one gleam
Of the hem of God
Be marigold made happy
Suddenly and always.
