OUTDOOR PEACE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Have fears and worries vexed you?
Last Line: The home that will receive you.
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


Have fears and worries vexed you?
Go out among the trees;
Think: He who made all these
Will He not well protect you?

Do thronging doubts molest you?
Sit down there in the sun
Where heaven's joys o'errun,
And think how God has blessed you.

Does some one scorn or slight you?
Stand forth among the hills,
Forget your petty ills.
Remember: God will right you.

Do long, long sorrows grieve you?
Look upward to the stars,
And think: No anguish mars
The home that will receive you.
