So Runs My Dream.

o yet, we trust that somehow good
win be the final goal of ILL.,
To pangs of nature, sins of will,
Defects OF doubt, and taints OF blood:
That nothing walks with aimless feet;
That not one life shall be destroyed,
Or cast as rubbish to the void,
When God hath made the pile complete;
That not word is spoken in vain;
That not moth with vain desire
Is shrivePd in fruitless fire,
Or but subserves another's gain.
~
Behold we know not anything;
l can but trust that good shall fall
At last-far oft-at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring.
So runs my dream but what am /?
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying for the light;
And with no language but a cry.
