INVOCATION by Victor Hugo
     {V, vi., August, 1832.}
     Say, Lord! for Thou alone canst tell
     Where lurks the good invisible
     Amid the depths of discord's seaâ€"
     That seem, alas! so dark to me!
     Oppressive to a mighty state,
     Contentions, feuds, the people's hateâ€"
     But who dare question that which fate
         Has ordered to have been?
     Haply the earthquake may unfold
     The resting-place of purest gold,
     And haply surges up have rolled
         The pearls that were unseen!

     G.W.M. REYNOLDS.
