A poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes

La Maison D'or (Bar Harbor)

________________________________________________
Title:     La Maison D'or (Bar Harbor)
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes [More Titles by Holmes]

FROM this fair home behold on either side
The restful mountains or the restless sea
So the warm sheltering walls of life divide
Time and its tides from still eternity.

Look on the waves: their stormy voices teach
That not on earth may toil and struggle cease.
Look on the mountains: better far than speech
Their silent promise of eternal peace.


[The end]
Oliver Wendell Holmes's poem: Maison D'or (bar Harbor)
