Spotless as the unwritten page, Holy warm as angel's rage Of ardour in the fervent song That bears Jehovah's praise along, All resigning, all confiding, Never doubting, never chiding, Pure in thought, in word and deed, Thy soul following my soul's lead, Merging into unity, With blessed, gentle harmony, Ever cheering, ever smiling, From all care my heart beguiling,— Such thy love,—all sacrificing, Love from God himself arising, Such as poets strive to paint, But with hues, alas, how faint! Oh! my Psyche, Heaven's blessing Be upon thy dear caressing! For from darkness first it brought me, Showed how sweet was life, and taught me That some angels lingered still In this world of woe and ill! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHRISTMAS FOLK-SONG by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE TRUTH AND SORROW by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY |
