Poems (Rumell)/The promised land
THE PROMISED LAND
Did you ever sit as though in a dream,Just wool gathering, some would say;When the tables, chairs and walls all seemAs though in a mist, to just fade away?
And you seemed in a different country,From where you lived, tho it is not strange.For in your clearest, calmest momentsYou have known it was there within range.
And you wandered through hills and valleys,Filled with the Spirit of Eternal youth.You seemed to have lost all Doubt and Fear,And see all life through the eyes of Truth.
You seemed to see the crest of all your Ambition!Some, you thought you had lost, slipped thro your hand.A dream? Perhaps! But it gives hope of completion,Of your choisest wish, glimpsed in that promised land!
