I look up to her, and I know
That years may come and years may go,
And life may ebb and life may flow;
Yet still above the sweep and surge
Of pain and passion that doth urge
The hot time upon horror's verge,
She will behold The Hand displayed;
She will stand ever undismayed: -
Wherefore my heart is not afraid.
Richard Realf
