FUTURITY

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.

THERE are depths in the surging, foaming sea That no fathom line can sound; There are stars in the far-off azure sky That no mortal eye hath found.

There are thoughts in the restless mind of man That no language can express; There are dreams in the quiet hours of life That are more than happiness.

There are prints in the shifting sands of time, There are signs of changes grand; There are flashes of light in the gloomy night, There are signals o’er the land.

We may strive in our frailty here to grasp What the future has in store, But the heights and the depths, the thoughts and dreams, Are a part of evermore.

We shall know in their fulness by and by What are shadows now and dim; We shall see in his beauty Christ the Lord, And forever worship him.

North Dearing, Me.
