Along the Way

By Caroline Hazard

LORD, thou dost know; I can not know the ways In which thy love my flickering life doth lead; I can not know the profit and the need Of what would seem disaster and delays. But I would have the current of my days Run clear and strong, from springs which thou dost feed, A life flood which thy mercy deigns to heed, And with heart-beats “whose pulse shall be thy praise.”
For grief and joy thy love doth sublimate To blend into a harmony divine; And heavy sorrow joy doth recreate In nobler fashion, adding depths unknown And vibrant heights which lead up to thy throne, Whence, streaming forth the lights celestial shine.
— Caroline Hazard.
