ASPIRATIONS: 8 by MATHILDE BLIND

First Line: MY HEART IS HUSHED AND HOLY
Last Line: THAT TWILIGHT SOUL OF MINE.
Subject(s): GRIEF; GOD; CONDUCT OF LIFE; SORROW; SADNESS;

My heart is hushed and holy,
And pure and calm my soul,
Like aisles in old cathedrals,
Where organ billows roll.
And o'er my fancy flitteth
A dim and lovely light,
Like beams that fall and quiver
Through oriel windows bright.

Oh thou, thou art the music
That, like a tide, sweeps in,
Waking the sacred echoes
My spirit's deeps within.
And thou, thou are the splendour,
Mysteriously divine,
That overfloods with glory
That twilight soul of mine.
