Poems (Rumell)/The only power
THE ONLY POWER
I stood there, dumb and bewildered,
Before a door that seemed closed to me.
I could feel the lure beyond it's portals,
But it seemed, that gold was the only key!
Before a door that seemed closed to me.
I could feel the lure beyond it's portals,
But it seemed, that gold was the only key!
I lacked it:my hands seemed tired, empty,
And I felt in my heart, I could do no more!
From all the trust of the past I was tempted!
When lo! I found Love had opened the door!
And I felt in my heart, I could do no more!
From all the trust of the past I was tempted!
When lo! I found Love had opened the door!
If we could purge our souls of all doubting,
Do our tasks, trusting, each day, each hour;
We would find the doors we thot closed, open,
And-that Love was the only real Power!
Do our tasks, trusting, each day, each hour;
We would find the doors we thot closed, open,
And-that Love was the only real Power!
