By Sarah Keppel VickeryA Year from Now
W
A year from now?
Will this dear joy still wear its blossomed crown?
And this still dearer sorrow,
Will it then, as now
Lay hands of blest remembrance
On my head?
I gaze into the dimness—
Does there grow, beyond my seeing,
The fair light of stars?
I know not—but Thou knowest—
Thou, to whom tomorrow is to-day—
I rest in Thee.
Deal gently with my years.
