cIhe `Edge of9 ^ fit
Today I loaded beside the sea A n d feft my Savior there zvith me. We Left nofootprints in the sand Tor the tide erased themfrom the hand.
The sun began to fiff the shy W ith scarfet ribbonsfboating high, A n d amber cfouds that once were white Changed togofd at the edge o f night. The ivinds caressed me fife a prayer because they fnew that tjod was there, A n d in the twifighCs purpfe haze 9dy heart wasfibbed zvithjoyfubpraise.
