Soul

 BECAUSE,

There never was a voice on earth

Could soothe¹ its harrowings,

That’s why these souls God gave to us

Are always lonely things.

Because,

Life is so short, and death so sure,

And worlds uncertain things,

And time so fleet and heaven so high

Souls have such restless wings.

Because,

’Twas fashioned in the heavenly realm

Of God’s creative schemes,

That’s why a soul goes hungrily

From dream to shining dream.
