The Forward Look

By Worthie Harris Holden

By Worthie Harris Holden
Through all the fevered, anxious night Ye wait to greet the morning light; No balm for grief, no rest from toil, No gain where moth and rust despoil, Save in His peace and quietness That soothe the watchers' soul-distress.
But lo, the blush of dawn appears With roseate hues dispelling fears! Your hopes renew as faith espies The heralds mount the eastern skies; For soon the waiting ones shall see The Day that brings eternity.
O, look not back, lest lurking foe Beguile to throes of awful wo! Nor unto left nor right attend To cavilings or threats of men, Lest 'mid diverted thoughts the Day Unseen will break, to your dismay.
