Invocation by Victor Hugo

 {V, vi., August, 1832.} 


 Say, Lord! for Thou alone canst tell 
 Where lurks the good invisible 
 Amid the depths of discord's sea— 
 That seem, alas! so dark to me! 
 Oppressive to a mighty state, 
 Contentions, feuds, the people's hate— 
 But who dare question that which fate 
 Has ordered to have been? 
 Haply the earthquake may unfold 
 The resting-place of purest gold, 
 And haply surges up have rolled 
 The pearls that were unseen! 
 
 G.W.M. REYNOLDS.
