IN THE SILENT REACHES OF MY SOUL, by                    
First Line: Oh, deep in the shadowy vales that lie
Last Line: Unknown to a finite world.
Subject(s): God; Silence; Soul


Oh, deep in the shadowy vales that lie
In the silent reaches of my soul,
In thy solitudes, O my soul,
Live the wraiths of the Hopes of the self that I
Know as myself, yet unknown to the whole
Of the doubting, shallow world.

And when, in my nature's wearied hours,
I seek in an introspective mood
Those cloistered haunts for my spirit's food,
Come those wraiths at my call with their God-born powers,
And I am a god in a realm of good,
Unknown to a finite world.
