THE QUIET DAYS
"Who has seen the Wind? " -- CHRISTINA ROSSETTI.
I have seen the Wind, / I have seen him plain -- / The silver feet of the Wind / Racing on the rain.
I have seen Time pass: / Viewless as he sped, / The red sand in the glass / Was shaken by his tread.
Far, far the goal, / And hearts must part awhile -- / But I have seen the Soul / Shining through a smile.
Dim, dim the plan, / And dumb is the clod: / But in the eyes of Man / I have seen -- God.
