MY LAKE.

By Amy Redpath Roddick

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!
