JEWELED HOURS, by                    
First Line: Beneath the stars, beside a copper lake
Last Line: Companionship in deepest, utter love.
Subject(s): Faith; Nature; Belief; Creed


Beneath the stars, beside a copper lake,
We saw the moonlight's glory play with cloud.
There first the gage was given for friendship's sake,
As gentle breezes played where trees had bowed.
Far flung, the seeking chords of memory hold,
Until each living fibre brings to light
Rare jeweled hours, whose gems are set in gold
Of beauty's hue and loveliest delight.

Beneath a warmer night than mountains know,
Beyond our own articulated sense,
We savor of those moods that do not go,
And share again in quiet confidence,
That quiet strength whose source is from above,
Companionship in deepest, utter love.
