White Journal, Page 32, "My Peaceful Breast"

...not a "wave of trouble rolled across my peaceful breast"

This quote is from a hymn called “When I Can Read My Title Clear.” The line that Woods is quoting here is from the final stanza: “There shall I bathe my weary soul in seas of heavenly rest,/ And not a wave of trouble roll, across my peaceful breast.” For a complete version of the lyrics, click here.'
