AN INFLUENCE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I SEE THEE - HEAVEN'S UNCLOUDED FACE
Last Line: THE BITTERNESS OF MINE.
Subject(s): GOD; LOVE;

I SEE thee, -- heaven's unclouded face
A vacancy around thee made,
Its sunshine a subservient grace
Thy lovelier light to shade.

I feel thee, as the billows feel
A river freshening the brine;
A life's libation poured to heal
The bitterness of mine.
