TO HELEN KELLER, by                    
First Line: Alone in the far regions of the soul
Last Line: O wonderful white soul beyond the light!
Subject(s): Keller, Helen (1880-1968); Silence; Soul


Alone in the far regions of the soul
You sit in silence, beautiful, serene,
Untrammeled by the fleeting lights that screen
Our fettered eyes from those bright tides that roll
In waves of light eternal to their goal
Which thy free spirit, through our dark, hath seen
Within pure space, where naught doth intervene
Between thy vision and the central pole.
Measuring our world with standard measureless,
Show us the meaning of its depth and height;
Piercing the dark beyond our wavering guess,
Tell us the secret of thy deeper sight,
Reach forth thy hand to guide our helplessness,
O wonderful white soul beyond the light!
