The Peace That Passes Understanding



    Bring me a dream from the depth of your eyes,
          Let me drown in those hidden ecstasies,
    Fling a sunbeam from the cool sleet of ice,
          Let it frown away forbidden worries,
 Spare me a while, set me down on my knees,
 Share me a smile, get me crowned with His peace.
