Explore "The Legend Glorified. (Rhymes of Rainy Days)" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"I deem that God is not disquieted" -- / This in a mighty poet's rhymes I read; / And blazoned so forever doth abide / Within my soul the legend glorified.
Though awful tempests thunder overhead, / I deem that God is not disquieted, -- / The faith that trembles somewhat yet is sure / Through storm and darkness of a way secure.
Bleak winters, when the naked spirit hears / The break of hearts, through stinging sleet of tears, / I deem that God is not disquieted; / Against all stresses am I clothed and fed.
Nay, even with fixed eyes and broken breath, / My feet dip down into the tides of death, / Nor any friend be left, nor prayer be said, / I deem that God is not disquieted.
