SEEKERS

The soul through love that seeketh
Through love will sure attain,
Whether the love bring gladness,
Whether the love bring pain.
To them that knock God opens,
He bids them find who seek;
And one knocks loud and home-like,
And one taps low and weak;
One sees afar in searching;
Another is slow of sight;
One goeth his way unwearied;
Another hath little might.
But each and every seeker
Love-led to make the quest,
Shall know the joy of finding;
In finding shall be blest.
