Rossiter Worthington Raymond Poems

True heart and wise, that with Love's key
Didst open all life's mystery
And buy life's treasure at the price
Of Love's perpetual sacrifice!
...

One more from earth to heaven ascends;
Yet earth and heaven do lie so near
That still we walk with unseen friends
...

Morning red! Morning red!
Now the shadows all are fled;
Now the Sabbath's cloudless glory
Tells anew the wondrous story,
...

A thought of God on earth expressed!
The silence of his perfect rest;
The patience of eternal power;
The ceaseless change from hour to hour;
...

Some gazed into the heavens afar;
Some delved in darkness underground;
But Life Immortal was not found
...
