Mother,—to thee!
Great gulf-combers rolling:
Ghost reef-bells low tolling:—
Dark storm-sweeping roar descends around me.
Like childish arms clinging,
My thoughts now are winging,
Mother,—to thee.
Mother,—as thine!
Old faith, new abounding,
Drowns surges’ resounding;
—All—must be well if by Master design.
...Faith—greater, recalling,—
Through Life-storms befalling,—
Mother,—that’s thine.
