THE RECLUSE,
@MN

The peace of God has come at last TO me
The clouds have rolled away
That gathered with such fury, hiding al
The azure of the day.
My sun shows not the glory as of old,
Before these walls of stone
Shut me from out the glamour Of the
world
And all that had known
More calm and steadfast is the radiant
beam
That shines upon me now,
And piercing through the darkness OF my
night
Rests softly on my brow.
The sun of Peace; Gods gifts all ua!e
fled
Within these cloisters dim
l stand apart from all the paths of nv
And walk along with Him.
Through all the years in which my >..u
had part
With those | loved below,
Fer had proved how vain the Joy he
How true and sure the woe,
could not see the splendor Of a.
Throne
My sky was overnight
And SO God sent his storm bolt, driN'a
down
The binding path Of light
The peace of God has come at last 10 me
Within those walls of stone,
Nor joy nor grof can thrill my SO"
again;
walk with God alorc.
