A bar of song . Wonder of water and wonder of sky,Wonder of dnsk, when a storm portends;Wonderful shores that contented lieAnd almost meet where the river ends! If man could wash his soul of sin as cleanAs these white shores of Neptunes vast estateNo barrier then could lift its wall betweenHis radiant path from earth to heavens gate. 84. Ye winds that blow across the mighty deep,Driviug the mist, like snowy-crested fleece,Here on this beach a tryst of faith yon keep,That men may know yonr handy-work of peace. Whose faith has watched lifes storm clonds roll feels the ease that follows
