At first though long<br>And lone may seem the paths that intervene,<br>If ever on the staff of prayer we lean<br>The silence will grow eloquent with song<br>And our weak faith with certitude wax strong.<br>Intense, yet tranquil; fervent, yet serene,<br>He must be who would contact World Unseen<br>And comrade with their Amaranthine throng;<br>Not through the tossing waves of surging grief<br>Come spirit-ships to port. When storms subside,<br>Then with their precious cargoes of relief<br>Into the harbour of the heart they glide.<br>For him who will believe and trust and wait<br>Death's austere silence grows articulate.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Ella+Wheeler+Wilcox">Ella Wheeler Wilcox</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=384323" data-title="Be Not Dismayed de Ella Wheeler Wilcox" data-description="Be not dismayed, be not dismayed when death Sets its white seal upon some worshipped face.
