Last Line: O my god, unto thee
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God


As froth on the face of the deep,
As foam on the crest of the sea,
As dreams at the waking of sleep,
As gourd of a day and a night.
As harvest that no man shall reap,
As vintage that never shall be,
Is hope if it cling not aright,
O my God, unto Thee.
