The Ferry-Boat Across the Flood

By Delwin Rees Buckner

The deluged deep is brackish with the tears Of the deluded, drowning sons of Eve Who six score years delighted to believe Shrewd, egoistic, self-conceited seers, Who urged their pupils to expel all fears, For Noah's aim could be but to deceive, So it was nonsense to feel sad and grieve; The earth was young, and could not die for years. But while in the annihilating tide The sceptic giants drop their vital blood, And e'en the archfiend in dumb terror cowers, With God's own master, pilot hand to guide, The ark conveys its freight across the flood, A ferry-boat from Noah's world to ours. Solis, Argentina.
