Alexander Search – God’s Work

[BNP/E3, 78 – 24]

 

Death of God

 

God's Work.

 

“God's work ‑ how great his power!” said he

As we gazed out upon the sea

Beating the beach tumultuously

        Round the land-head.

 

The vessel then strikes with a crash,

Over her deck the waters rash

Make horror deep in rent and gash.

        “God's work”, I said.

 

Alexander Search.

 

July, 1906.
