| 204. An Interpreter |
| By John Bannister Tabb (1845–1909) |
| WHAT, O Eternity, | |
| Is Time to thee?— | |
| What to the boundless All | |
| My portion small? | |
| Lift up thine eyes, my soul! | 5 |
| Against the tidal roll | |
| Stands many a stone, | |
| Whereon the breakers thrown | |
| Are dashed to spray— | |
| Else were the Ocean dumb. | 10 |
| So, in the way | |
| Of tides eternal, thou | |
| Abidest now; | |
| And God Himself doth come | |
| A suppliant to thee, | 15 |
| Love’s prisoned thought to free. |
