Explore "A Girl's Faith" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Across the miles that stretch between, / Through days of gloom or glad sunlight, / There shines a face I have not seen / Which yet doth make my world more bright.
He may be near, he may be far, / Or near or far I cannot see, / But faithful as the morning star / He yet shall rise and come to me.
What though fate leads us separate ways, / The world is round, and time is fleet. / A journey of a few brief days, / And face to face we two shall meet.
Shall meet beneath God's arching skies, / While suns shall blaze, or stars shall gleam, / And looking in each other's eyes / Shall hold the past but as a dream.
But round and perfect and complete, / Life like a star shall climb the height, / As we two press with willing feet / Together toward the Infinite.
And still behind the space between, / As back of dawns the sunbeams play, / There shines the face I have not seen, / Whose smile shall wake my world to-day.
