RELIGION, by                    
First Line: My heart is dead to love,' I said
Last Line: I knelt in fervent love of god.
Subject(s): God; Introspection; Love; Religion; Theology


"My heart is dead to love," I said,
And then in study bowed my head;
But where I sought the higher thought
I found that loveless life was naught.

In starry sphere or frailest spear
Of grass was love, serene and clear;
Then, on the clod where grief had trod,
I knelt in fervent love of God.
