He Knew

"…and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore that disciple…saith unto Peter, It is the Lord."—John 21:6-7.

He knew.

How few there are

who do.

With nets

so silver-seething full,

our one regret—

the sea holds more,

the sea holds more.

How easy to forget

that Figure on the shore,

accepting as our due

the breaking net

without the happy shout,

"It is the Lord!"
