SONNET 29
BY: GEORGE SANTAYANA (1863-1952)
What riches have you that you deem me poor,

Or what large comfort that you call me sad?
Tell me what makes you so exceeding glad:
Is your earth happy or your heaven sure?
I hope for heaven, since the stars endure
And bring such tidings as our fathers
had. I know no deeper doubt to make me
mad, I need no brighter love to keep me
pure. To me the faiths of old are daily
bread;
I bless their hope, I bless their will to save,
And my deep heart still meaneth what they said.
It makes me happy that the soul is brave,
And, being so much kinsman to the dead,
I walk contented to the people grave.
