Thomas Bailey Aldrich - Miracles

Thomas Bailey Aldrich - Miracles

Sick of myself and all that keeps the light br Of the wide heavens away from me and mine, br I climb this ledge, and by this wind-swept pine br Lingering, watch the coming of the night: br 'Tis ever a new wonder to my sight. br Men look to God for some mysterious sign, br For other stars than such as nightly shine, br For some unwonted symbol of His might. br Wouldst see a miracle not less than those br The Master wrought of old in Galilee? br Come watch with me the azure turn to rose br In yonder West, the changing pageantry, br The fading alps and archipelagoes, br And spectral cities of the sunset-sea.
