Poems (Clark)/Soul Union
SOUL UNION
To-night when the shadows have deepened And the glow of the sunset is gone,When the stars in the far sky are keeping Their watch till the morning shall dawn,
Swift o'er the long way my beloved one. Will speed through the stillness to me,Straight on, for love bridges all distance, And the wings of the spirit are free.
Unheeding though others surround me, I shall know he is close by my side,My hand in his fond grasp will nestle, My unseen, my God-given guide.
I only shall hear the calm sweetness Of words that are noble and pure;Words spoken from spirit to spirit, Real words that will ever endure.
No fetters can bind the free spirit, Glad and swift, like a bird to its nest,His soul seeks my soul, and the seeking Brings union and comfort and rest.
