[This poem was written c.1967. It was first published in an American Baptist Publication Society journal, then, included in my first poetry chapbook, "The Lady in the Pink Hat," Candor Press, 1969.]
When restless suns have cast their final ray Upon this space of ground that I've possessed And hymns of sorrow punctuate the day This soul of mine shall have its lasting rest. Then tongue shall once again of briefness speak Life's swift journey once again reviewed, That cause which hastens anxious men to seek Will lead another man to faith endued.
