First Line: Our separate winding ways we trod
Last Line: Whose souls were welded with the stars.
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
Subject(s): Worship
Our separate winding ways we trod,
Along the highways, unto God,
Unbonded by the clasp of hand,
Without a vow—we understand,
Estranged for aye, the fusing kiss,
Omnipotent, we bide in this—
They need no trammeling of bars
Whose souls were welded with the stars.
