Excerpt from Unto the Desired Haven: And Other Religious Poems What matter how the winds may blow Or blow they east, or blow they west What reck I how the tides may ow, Since ebb or ood alike is best. No summer calm, no winter gale, Impedes or drives me from my way; I steadfast toward the Haven sail That lies, perhaps, not far away. I mind the weary days of old, When motionless I seemed to lie; The nights when fierce the billows rolled, And changed my course, I knew not why. I feared the calm, I feared the gale, Foreboding danger and delay, Forgetting I was thus to sail To reach what seemed so far away. I measure not the loss and fret Which through those years of doubt I bore; I keep the memory fresh, and yet Would hold God's patient mercy more.
