I love the stillness of my lake
With silent mountains round,
Their peaks denoting lofty thought
Scarce held by earthly bound.
I love the clearness of my lake
Reflecting Heaven’ s blue,
Symbolic of the pure of heart,
Absorbing grace anew.
I love the clouds above my lake
Of filmy grey and white,
As transient as the grief of those
Who’ ve learnt to live aright!
