A MAIDEN'S SONG.
I love! and Love hath given me
Sweet thoughts to God akin,
And oped a living Paradise
My heart of hearts within:
O from this Eden of my life
God keep the Serpent Sin!
Sweet thoughts to God akin,
And oped a living Paradise
My heart of hearts within:
O from this Eden of my life
God keep the Serpent Sin!
I love! and into Angel-land
With starry glimpses peer!
I drink in beauty like heaven-wine,
When One is smiling near!
And there's a Rainbow round my soul
For every rising tear.
With starry glimpses peer!
I drink in beauty like heaven-wine,
When One is smiling near!
And there's a Rainbow round my soul
For every rising tear.
Dear God in heaven! keep without stain
My bosom's brooding Dove:
O clothe it meet for angel-arms,
And give it place above!
For there is nothing from the world
I yearn to take, but Love.
My bosom's brooding Dove:
O clothe it meet for angel-arms,
And give it place above!
For there is nothing from the world
I yearn to take, but Love.
