Hope, by Rachel Magruder


In this dark land so fell and cold
My weary eyes look to the sky
And view what fills this heavy heart
With hope of light beyond the sea.

Through mist and cloud, still shine the stars
In endless circles whirling
I lift my heart and join the dance
Until the darkness fades away

For though I live in shadow
And though I live in fear
There is hope beyond the darkness
And beauty beyond tears.
