A GIRL'S SONG by H. THOMPSON RICH

First Line: THE SHADOWS FALL AND DEEPEN
Last Line: I LIFT MY LIPS TO THEE.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; HEAVEN; LOVE - LOSS OF; SEPARATION; ISOLATION; PARADISE;

THE shadows fall and deepen
Upon the silent sea;
Dusk draws us close together—
Close, close thou drawest me.

The stars tell out in silver
Their tale of mystery;
Night lifts her lips to heaven ...
I lift my lips to thee.
