THREE SONGS: 1 by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: A HEART AS DEEP AS THE SEA
Last Line: IN THE FEW SHORT YEARS OF A LIFE?
Subject(s): MORTALITY;
A HEART as deep as the sea,
A heart as vast as the sky,
Thou shouldest have given to me,
O Spirit, since I must die!

For how shall I feel and attain
The joy and the fear and the strife,
The hope of the world and the pain
In the few short years of a life?
