But my Love. . .

by Thomas Davis for Ethel

But my love is also like the quietness of the earth,
like the wind passing by from the north to the south,
like words wonderful with knowledge,
telling of the measurements of justice and truth.
Her spirit is like a threshing instrument
that can harvest even the wild waters of the sea.

    Thomas — this image is beautiful — harvesting the wild waters of the sea. I will always remember that phrase. I shall never forget it.

  8. This has all the qualities for the best elements of the King James Old Testament.
