SONGS OF THE SOUL



THE SPLINTERS OF THY LOVE

The splinters of Thy loveLie strewn in many a heart:The little fragments of Thy love,Descended from far above,I find spread here and there, and charm’d I startTo seize all and with care collect.I feel as I reflectThat I have certes seen somewhereThy whole unbroken love that’s everywhere;And with devotion strongI weld my varied collectionOf tiny bits of parental, friendly love in oneTo match it with Thy own.
