IN TOUCH by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: HOW SLIGHT SOE'ER THE MOTION BE
Last Line: REVEALS THEE TO MY HEART.
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.
