Symbol

By David Morton

1886-1957


My faith is all a doubtful thing,
         Wove on a doubtful loom, --
Until there comes, each showery spring,
         A cherry-tree in bloom;
And Christ who died upon a tree
         That death had stricken bare,
Comes beautifully back to me,
         In blossoms, everywhere.
