Poems

HOMEWARD BOUND

From the October 1896 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Back to the old, old truths,
Back to the only Life,
Back from the thoughts of death.
Back from a useless strife.

Home to the life of peace,
Home paths our feet have trod.
Home! where the strife must cease.
Home to the rest of God.

Back from the dream of error,
Home in the growing light;
Death is the thought of dying;
Life is the only right.
