First Line: Until I lose my soul and lie
Last Line: Careless if I am loved again.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Prayer
Until I lose my soul and lie
Blind to the beauty of the earth,
Deaf though shouting wind goes by,
Dumb in a storm of mirth;
Until my heart is quenched at length
And I have left the land of men,
Oh, let me love with all my strength
Careless if I am loved again.
