The Place I Mark

  

Where in my book I stop and think that place I mark

Where I found the worded jewel I pause and wait

Let life hold for me that flash of light I found there

Till faith wrests in me that thing of rhythmic gold

And with it wreathes a ring around my questing soul

Where in my book I stop and think, that place I mark

Where I found the worded jewel I pause and wait

Let life hold for me that flash of light I found there

Till faith wrests in me that thing of rhythmic gold 

And with it wreathes a ring around my questing soul
