Excerpt from The Lake of Peace, and Other Poems The Lake of Peace I know a vale within the heart, And there, shut from the world apart, A lake reposes. It is a fair and beauteous thing, Bright emerald banks of fadeless Spring This lake incloses. And all along its margin twine The lowliest, loveliest little vines, Called sweet submission, And flowers, rare flowers, of rich perfume, Faith, hope, and love, together bloom In this seclusion. But towering far above all these, God's promises, those grand old trees, In strength are growing. Their roots lie in the heart so deep, That o'er this lake they firmly keep Rough winds from blowing. And thus from passion's storms secure, It looks so placid and so pure, So beautiful, I know God hath been in this place, Transforming all things by His grace Most wonderful.
