GILEAD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: WALK WITHIN THY OWN HEART'S TEMPLE, CHILD, AND REST
Last Line: WALK WITHIN THY OWN HEART'S TEMPLE, CHILD, AND REST.

Walk within thy own heart's temple, child, and rest,
What you seek abides forever in thy breast,
Closer than thy folded arm
Is the soul-renewing-balm,
Walk within thy own heart's temple, child, and rest.
