Given As Hope To Searching Hearts
Given As Hope To Searching Hearts
If seeing windblown flowers dance
brings not sweetest joy to thy soul
Thy heart may never find romance
and soothing comfort it extols.
Bend thy iron will to kindness
for its wind bloweth deep with bliss
Flee from daggers of hate's darkness
into warmth of a lover's kiss.
Abandon pride of arrogance
with its caverns of evil glee
Fall thee not to wild wicked chance
thus find hellish eternity.
Find flowers beauty as great art
given as hope to searching hearts.
