Vision

In the light of sunset Christ was seated,
and saw a fisherman his bark who drove
slowly along the quivering lake, and greeted
him with a gentle glance of boundless love.

Of David, Abram, Peter dreamt awake,
but tenderly Christ called him from the sea,
"O fisherman, your rod and line forsake,
from Nazareth to the Cross, come, follow Me."
