OUT OF THE SHADOWS: AN UNFINISHED SONNET-SEQUENCE 18, by                    
First Line: Remembered is your every trick of speech
Last Line: The splendored joy of love in faith enshrined.
Subject(s): Hope; Love; Optimism


Remembered is your every trick of speech,
Your lilting smiles to merry laughter grown,
The pregnant glances of your eyes, and each
Soft, soothing touch my brow and hair have known.
And all your moods from joy to darkened sorrow,
And all the dreams of which you are the whole,
And all the gleaming plans of life's tomorrow
Have etched their deepening lines within my soul.
And there a figure limned in joy and grief
Holds balm to Hope that treks hand in our hand,
Eternal symbol of our heart's belief,
Hallowed by heaven's song and God's command.
Fate never dreamed the burdened heart could find
The splendored joy of love in faith enshrined.
