Excerpt from Blossom From an Orchard: Poems, Songs, and Sonnets

Dedication.

See here I hold this in mine outstretched hand
Across the waste of waters! and I cry
"Take this as love's true offering! - this, that I
Must long in vain, in that dear distant land,
To kneel and lay with trembling where ye stand,
And greet the touch of blessing! - Nay, 'tis small?
Then add the hope that, holding my soul's all,
Lies waiting at God's feet for His command.

Haply 'twill never come: - yet to have hope
Fails not with God, who looks beyond mere scope.
Oh! that my lips could utter, words receive
The thoughts which fill my heart! - Nay, words are weak.
Oh! father, mother, bending down I leave
God's self to whisper what I cannot speak!
