First Line: A many temples hath she set apart
Last Line: Of love, supreme high priest and lord of all.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love
A many temples hath she set apart
That all her children may in freedom share
The exultation and uplift of heart
Of her vast sanctuaries of light and air,
Of her lone peaks of silence and of prayer,—
Of life, so rarely wrought in great or small,
Of Love, supreme High Priest and Lord of all.
