Bounden

By Pearl Waggoner

O YE waters, wild and proud, With your thunderings deep and loud As ye rise and toss and break upon the beach, Though ye seek, ye seek in vain, To the sand-hills to attain, For your present bounds ye ne'er can overreach.
In the hollow of God's hand, Servants to his just command, Lo, thy angry, boist'rous waves shall ever be; They may beat against the shore, Yet are bounden evermore By his powerful and unchangeable decree.
So life's billows as they break At our feet, and threatenings make, As though fain our hope and faith to overthrow, Still are holden by that hand, Subject to the same command Which says, "Hitherto, nor farther shall ye go."
Hinsdale, Ill.
