...Lord, let me live, that more and more
Your wonder world I may adore;
With every dawn to grow and grow
Alive to graciousness aglow;

Of rapture You have wrought.

Gazing to Her in worship half forlorn,
Who looks towards the stars and will not see --

...to sorrow as the sparks fly upward.
The log groans and confesses:
There is one story and one story only.
Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
Do not forget what flowers

Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
Her sea-blue eyes were wild
But nothing promised that is not performed....Read more of this...
