Poems

LOVE'S NEARNESS

From the December 1943 issue of The Christian Science Journal


You are not friendless, not alone;
Love is so near, so very near,
That when your ears are Love-attuned
Its tender message you can hear.
Like dew at eventide it falls
So softly sweet, so gracious, low,
It soothes away all bitterness
And heals the heart of every woe.

The friendliness of love is here.
Its gentle beams light up with joy
The path that ever onward leads
To peace and bliss without alloy.
Oh, dry your weary, tear-dimmed eyes.
From sense and self let thought be free;
Then you shall find that Love divine
Your friend and guide will ever be.
