Poems (Radford)/Across the Sea beyond the Sand

by Dollie Radford

XIV

Across the sea beyond the sand, At sunrise I shall sail away,To dwell in that enchanted land Where Love does stay.

And up each lonely mountain peak, Where'er the narrow path may lead,Beneath its burning skies I'll seek The One I need.

Across its plains by moon and star, And darkest night my road shall be,Until I clasp the hands which are Held forth to me.

And if the storms be fierce and strong To tire me ere the search be done,My peace will be more sweet and long If peace be won.
