DESTINY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Like winds or waters were her ways
Last Line: But craving for its sister soul.
Alternate Author Name(s): A. E.
Subject(s): Fate; Destiny


LIKE winds or waters were her ways:
The flowing tides, the airy streams,
Are troubled not by any dreams;
They know the circle of their days.

Like winds or waters were her ways:
They heed not immemorial cries;
They move to their high destinies
Beyond the little voice that prays.

She passed into her secret goal,
And left behind a soul that trod
In darkness, knowing not of God,
But craving for its sister soul.
