First Line: How slight soe'er the motion be
Last Line: Reveals thee to my heart.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Sympathy; Empathy
How slight soe'er the motion be,
With palpitating hand
The gentlest breaker of the sea
Betrays it to the land.
And though a vaster mystery
Hath set our souls apart,
Each wafture from eternity
Reveals thee to my heart.
