Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Yet There Be Great Peace and Quiet There

Yet There Be Great Peace And Quiet There

Yet there be great peace and quiet there
just beyond meadows fair
World revolts, I long not to care
my solitude I do not share
As ill winds besiege a fallen spirit
Sweet calm, I feel near it
Afternoon doves speaking I hear it
there - tis nothing- do I fear it
My oasis, my hidden abode
relaxing, drop my heavy load
Sorrow upon this weary road
selfish me, or so I am told

Yet there be great peace and quiet there
Yet there be great peace and quiet there
