AFFINITY.
Eternal Soul, mantled with Youth and Love,
O! white-winged dove with tireless beating wings,
Spirit that changes not with mortal things,
But dwells with constancy in realms above;
O! beauteous Ideal whereto we move,
Affinity long sought, whose finding brings
A peerless and perfected life that rings
With the sweet music of immortal love;
O! white-winged dove with tireless beating wings,
Spirit that changes not with mortal things,
But dwells with constancy in realms above;
O! beauteous Ideal whereto we move,
Affinity long sought, whose finding brings
A peerless and perfected life that rings
With the sweet music of immortal love;
O! thou, secure against the raids of Time,
Towering above the wreck of mortal strife,
Spirit that makes the finite life divine,
Whose magic touch can make the mean sublime;
Reach out thy hands to me and give me life!
Reach out thy hands and bind my life to thine!
Towering above the wreck of mortal strife,
Spirit that makes the finite life divine,
Whose magic touch can make the mean sublime;
Reach out thy hands to me and give me life!
Reach out thy hands and bind my life to thine!
