AD ASTRA: 55 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: COME TO ME, O MY SOUL'S DIVINER SOUL!
Last Line: A SHRINE OF PEACE, CLOSE CHANCELL'D FROM ALL PAIN.
Subject(s): LOVE; PEACE;

'Come to me, O my soul's diviner soul!
Come, breathing balm as from celestial spheres,
Sweet woman, loved beyond my heart's control!
For in thy bosom Love itself uprears
A City of Refuge from the ruthless years,
A Sanctuary of Rest for heart and brain,
A Shrine of Peace, close chancell'd from all pain.
