Adelaide Anne Procter Light Poems
- 1. The Requital
LOUD roared the tempest,
Fast fell the sleet;
A little Child Angel
Passed down the street,
... - 2. Doubting Heart
WHERE are the swallows fled?
Frozen and dead,
Perchance, upon some bleak and stormy shore.
O doubting heart!
... - 3. Per Pacem Ad Lucem
I DO not ask, O Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
Aught of its load;
... - 4. My God, I Thank Thee Who Hast Made
My God, I thank Thee who hast made
The earth so bright;
So full of splendour and of joy,
Beauty and light;
...
