Rivers to the Sea

Peace

PEACE flows into me
       AS the tide to the pool by the shore;
       It is mine forevermore,
  It ebbs not back like the sea.

I am the pool of blue
       That worships the vivid sky;
       My hopes were heaven-high,
  They are all fulfilled in you.

I am the pool of gold
       When sunset burns and dies,—
       You are my deepening skies,
  Give me your stars to hold.
