A LITTLE SONG by ADELINE M. JENNEY

First Line: IT IS MIDNIGHT, I AM ALONE
Last Line: FOR THIS SACRED GRACE, I THANK THEE!
Subject(s): LOVE; SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
It is midnight, I am alone,
And drenched with rain,
Away from any habitation save Thine own.
Only sharp pain
Beats out against the storm from broken strings;
Yet, even now, a little song upsprings—
Even at midnight I must speak of dawn;
For Thou, unseen but felt, hast gently drawn
A cloak about me.
For this sacred grace, I thank Thee!
