S If I I I' . ' . X '91, ma ff Xi ff? A SENSE OF PEACE Deep and dark and cold Are the waters that flow below, Yet such a sense of peace I get when I behold A silver star, reflected on a wave, Or a drop of rain, that seeks it for its grave. Cruel-or calm and still- Are the waters that I gaze upon, Yet peace is with me when I see Gliding on its gallant breast A leaf or twig of some far tree. While in a storm, some people shrink, I thrill to watch the ocean drink Its fill of wild delight. I love to see its smiling face Thrill to the strong and wild embrace Of the wind as it hurries by And leaves its playground with a sigh. I love to stand on the rock of time. And feel the spray so clean and fine, Soak me to the very skin. To feel the wild and whirling wind Whip a rosy glow throughout my being, To feel it beat and scream and tear Against my body, and through my hair. Such ecstasy! Oh, peace is here. These ocean storms I do not fear. And like the rain I always sigh, Sometime I myself will lie Far in the cool, green waters deep: I'll seek my grave, and there I'll sleep.
