MIRACLES, by                    
First Line: Each day one meets a miracle
Last Line: Hang out the evening star.
Subject(s): Faith; God; Miracles; Belief; Creed


Each day one meets a miracle
If he have eyes to see;—
Why, any flaming sunrise
Can bring him ecstasy.

And I, myself, have sometimes heard—
When faith and hope grew dim—
A sudden rush of myriad wings,
A song of seraphim.

And I have found within the heart
Of many a simple flower,
Enough of peace to last throughout
A cruel, bitter hour. ...

When I am all discouragement,—
As mortals often are—
I watch God, in His majesty,
Hang out the evening star.
