INTERIM

I have a little peace today,  And I can pause and see How life is filled with golden things  And gracious things for me;

I can go watch the water run  And smile to feel the air And love the deep touch of the sun  And know the world is fair . . .

Oh, hush, my soul, take comfort now  And sleepy-singing lie Till Love return to hide the sun  And veil the earth and sky!
