Poems

Only Soul Satisfies

From the December 1948 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Though the leaves be full,
If the heart be bare
Of loving pulse
No joy is there.

Though the gardens glow
With blooms of gold,
Eyes filled with self
Cannot behold.

And if hills sing
Beneath the moon,
Ears strained to earth
Hear not their tune.

Though beauty lifts
From earth to sky,
True gleams of Soul
But satisfy.
