THERE is a magic pathway through the wood, <br />There is a current in the troubled stream, <br />A happy course to steer, if one but could, <br />A meaning to the dream. <br /> <br />And some in love and some in dogma find <br />The hint eternal as they kiss or pray; <br />Some through the crystal circle of the mind <br />Discern the way. <br /> <br />And some no hint, no pattern of the whole, <br />Nor star, nor path, nor channel can perceive - <br />Attempt no answer to the questing soul, <br />And yet believe <br /> <br />There is a magic pathway through the wood, <br />There is a current in the troubled stream, <br />A happy course to steer, if one but could, <br />A meaning to the dream.<br /><br />Alice Duer Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-way-69/
