Poems (Curwen)/All is Glory

​
All is Glory.
TO A DEAR OLD LADY WHO AWOKE IN THE NIGHT WITH THE WORDS "ALL IS GLORY" RINGING IN HER EARS.
All is glory! Thought sublime!  Like a vision of the night  Comes this flash of heav'nly light, To cheer thy weary waiting time.
All is glory! Light Divine,  Earthly gloom and doubt dispelling,  Heav'nly hope and peace instilling In that troubled heart of thine.
All is glory! Happy soul!  Heaven is surely drawing near  When such thoughts are sent to cheer, As thy tired feet near the goal.
All is glory! how sweet!  Surely it was the refrain  Of some grand angelic strain Echoing down the golden street;
And thine ears the echo caught  In the silence of the night,  Soon shall faith be lost in sight Where all is glory. Blessed thought!
