RELIGION by RAY CLARKE ROSE

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.
