Poems (Vadlan)/Heart of Gold

​
HEART OF GOLD
One, a woman freed from drossThis heart of gold possessed:'Twas not the cost.That souled her rest,But Christ, who saved the lost.
One, had 'a heart of gold,That helped along the way;In kindness manifold,That held a Heaven taught sway,And rocked the soul.
One, had a heart of goldThat soothed the griefOf many in the fold,Where twined the wreathOf sorrow round the soul,
One, had a heart of goldThat shone in beauty's gleam;Its warmth dispelled the coldAnd made one dreamThe priceless value of a soul.
​
One, had a heart of goldWho heaped it high:That others might beholdAnd hear the cry,"Come unto me," lost soul.
One, had a heart of goldWho richness ranIn shimmering stream untold;Reaching beyond the farthest strandWhere lived the soul.
One, had a heart of gold,Who gave its wealthTo suffering and rolledThe glory by stealthIn place, where God is soul.
One, had a heart of gold,Whose melting spreadIn love so wondrous old:In words so sweetly saidIt satisfied the soul.
​
Heart of gold. live thouBeneath the crowning brow;Let the golden lightSpeed on its flight;Till Time wings thy soul to God.
