Poems

I Waken

From the December 1949 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I waken from a dream,
And where is then
The nightmare horror that beset the way?
(So very real it seemed, so present there
The nothingness that fades in thinnest air.)

I waken from a dream.
No trace remains
Of accident or untoward event,
For man, held perfect in God's image, knows
Only the harmony that Love bestows.
