'I deem that God is not disquieted'-- <br />This in a mighty poet's rhymes I read; <br />And blazoned so forever doth abide <br />Within my soul the legend glorified. <br /> <br />Though awful tempests thunder overhead, <br />I deem that God is not disquieted,-- <br />The faith that trembles somewhat yet is sure <br />Through storm and darkness of a way secure. <br /> <br />Bleak winters, when the naked spirit hears <br />The break of hearts, through stinging sleet of tears, <br />I deem that God is not disquieted; <br />Against all stresses am I clothed and fed. <br /> <br />Nay, even with fixed eyes and broken breath, <br />My feet dip down into the tides of death, <br />Nor any friend be left, nor prayer be said, <br />I deem that God is not disquieted.<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-legend-glorified/
