Reconciled.

Topics: classic

We meet again beyond the barren past,             Beyond the pride, the sorrows and the tears;             And yearnings leave the strife and hate of years         To flood our souls with perfect peace at last!         Our hearts forget the wrong so deep and vast,             The wounding words and all the cruel woe,             Till joy is all our bounding bosoms know,         And life is glad with happiness at last.         Love, deathless and forgiving, crowns with bays             The future and our hopes, as full of grace,         As youth had fondly dreamed in other days,             When first we knew how sweet was her embrace.         God's endless purpose guides the feet of men;         Beyond our pride we meet in love again!
